Secondary Full Load Amps
Full load amperage at secondary voltage for 112.5 kVA three-phase transformer:
| Secondary Voltage | Full Load Amps | Conductor Size |
|---|---|---|
| 120V | 541.3 A | 750 MCM+ |
| 208V | 312.3 A | 500 MCM |
| 240V | 270.6 A | 350 MCM |
| 277V | 234.5 A | 300 MCM |
| 480V | 135.3 A | 2/0 AWG |
Three-Phase:
Amps = (kVA × 1000) ÷ (Voltage × 1.732)Example at 480V:
135.3 A = (112.5 × 1000) ÷ (480 × 1.732)Oil Maintenance Guidelines for 112.5 kVA Transformer
