Find the wire from the secondary of the transformer. If it's a step-down transformer the thicker wire is the secondary.
Measure its diameter in inches and calculate its cross-section area in square inches. The current rating for transformer wire is 1000 amps per square inch, or 1.55 amps per square mm.

How do you claculate the secondary load of a step up transformer?
Any continuous load shouldn't exceed the rated capacity of the transformer, expressed in volt amperes.
What is the measurements of 75 kva transformer 3 phase?
For a single-phase transformer, divide the ratedapparent power (expressed in volt amperes) by the voltage rating (expressed in volts) of the primary winding; this will give you the rated primary current (expressed in amperes) of the primary winding.
Why transformer rated kva?
The correct symbol for kilovolt amperes is 'kV.A, not kva. A volt ampere is the product of the transformer's secondary rated voltage and its rated current. It is not rated in watts, because the transformer designer has no idea what sort of load is to be applied to the transformer, and it is the load that determines the amount of watts, not the transformer.
Can you operate a transformer below kva rating?
What limits the use of a transformer is its operating temperature, as excessively-high temperature will act to break down its insulation. The temperature reached by a transformer is a function of its rating (expressed in volt amperes), so operating a transformer below its rating is perfectly okay.
How can measure transformer KVA?
the capacity of a transformer is defined as a product of voltage and current flowing through it.AS THE CURRENT IS MEASURED IN AMPERES AND VOLTAGE IN VOLTS, Hence transformers are measured/rated in KVA
What is advantages-of-parallel operation of transformer?
It enables an existing transformer to be upgraded to meet an increase in load, without having to remove that transformer and replace it with a 'larger' (expressed in volt amperes) one. It provides an useful way of using up a stock of smaller transformers.
How do you change 115v to 230v?
You need to use a 2:1 ratio transformer, with a capacity (in volt amperes) to match the load you have in mind.
Function of no-load in transformer in a open-circuit?
To calculate the no load current from transformer & core loss is also calculated.
How the ka rating of mccb is calculated?
ka of mccb=transformer(KVA)x100/1.732xsecondary voltagex%impedence of transformer
Transformers are rated in what?
Transformers are rated in KVA. (this is because the transformer is Unity power factor device i.e.. PF = 1)AnswerThe selection of a transformer is determined by the apparent power of the load, expressed in volt amperes(V.A), the load current, and the line voltage of the supply. The transformer must be able to satisfy these requirements.Transformers are not 'unity power factor' devices, which is precisely why their capacity is expressed in volt amperes, rather than in watts.
What is meaning of apparent power in transformer?
Apparent power is the product of voltage and current in an a.c. system, and is expressed in volt amperes. The rated apparent power of a transformer is the product of its rated secondary current and rated secondary voltage.
How do you calculate the of turn and the secondary voltage of the 15kw transformer?
First of all, transformers are rated in volt amperes, not watts. Secondly, in order to determine a transformer's turns-ration, you need to know its primary and secondary voltage ratings.
