Questions about used 72 MVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 72 MVA transformer?

A 72 MVA three-phase transformer carries 9,993 A at 4.16 kV, 3,334 A at 12.47 kV and 3,012 A at 13.8 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 72,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 4160 V) = 9,993 A.
