Take the KVA and divide it by the voltage. 25/.230 = 109 amps. The transformer can put out up to 50% more that its rated for short durations. So you could get around 150 amps out of a 25 Kva tranformer in a worst case situation.

A stepup transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil If the primary voltage is 120 volts what will be the secondary voltage?

A step-up transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil. If there is 120 volts and 10 amps on the primary, what will be the current in the secondary? 2 amps.600v 2A


A step-up transformer has 300 turns on the primary coil and 90000 turns on the secondary coil if the current flowing through the secondary is 5 amps what is the current flowing in the primary?

If a step-up transformer has 200 turns on the primary coil and 3000 turns on the secondary coil, with a primary coil voltage of 90 volts and current of 30 amps, then the turns ratio is 200:3000, so the secondary voltage is 1350 voltage and the available current is 2 amps. (This ignores losses through the transformer.)


What is 50VA?

50 VA means about 50 watts. Transformers usually use VA instead of watts because a transformer has very little wasted power, and watts measure power. A 50 va transformer that is 120v. on the primary side will use about .41 amps at 120 volts. On the secondary side, (if it's 24 volts) it will support about 2.08 amps.


What is the electrical current in electrical transformations?

In the case of a transformer the simplest way to explain current is that it will be inversely proportionate to the voltage. For example: If you have a transformer that transforms 5000 volts down to 2500 volts you have a 2:1 ratio. The current ratio will then be 1:2. If you had 200 Amps on the 5000 volt side you will have 400 Amps on the 2500 volt side. Comment There is a misconception that a transformer will 'step up' or 'step down' the primary current. In fact, the secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the impedance of the load, NOT by the primary current. The secondary current then determines the primary current by a factor equivalent to the reciprocal of the turns ratio.

How do you size a transformer based on amperage I have a 1 KVA single phase transformer I was told I can only put 4 amps across the secondary. This transformer is 240 volt primary 120 volt secondary?

On a 1kva you have 1000 watts capacity. To fine the current the formula is I = W/E. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000/120 = 8.3 amps. In your question you do not put the amps across the secondary you draw amps from it. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. <<>> voltage times amps equals wattage


How many amps do you need to supply a 150kva transformer to get 118amps 480 volts?

Rephrase your question, as it doesn't make any sense. If the primary side of the transformer is 480 volts 3 phase, this transformer can be supplied from a breaker as big as 180 amps. If 480 volts 3 phase is your secondary then you can supply up to 180 amps to your loads.


If increase load of secondary side of transformer. why primary side current increases?

The wattage must remain equal on the primary and secondary sides of a transformer. An example to the above statement with a 1000 watt step down transformer. To fine the watts (load) the formula is W = A x V. The primary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000 W = 4.16 Amps x 240 Volts. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000 W = 8.3 Amps x 120 Volts. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. As you can see the wattage (load) remains constant only the voltages and current change.


How many amps will a 250 kVA transformer in 220 volts secondary?

kVA = 1000va Therefore 1000/220 Answer 4.54A


How many amps does a 12 volt 600 watt transformer use at 120 volts?

A transformer does not use, it transforms voltage from one value to another. The output amperage is governed by the connected load. If the load wattage is higher than the wattage rating of the transformer then either the primary or secondary fuse will blow or the transformer will burn up if the fusing is of the wrong sizing. The maximum primary amperage can be found by using the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts, A = W/E = 600/120 = 5 amps. The same equation is used for the calculating the maximum secondary amperage, A = W/E = 600/12 = 50 amps.


If a voltage transformer has turns ratio 5 to 1 Which side has a larger wire?

Lets put a value to the transformer, say 500 VA. Step down with a 5:1 ratio. Say 250 volts on primary. 250/5 = 50 volts secondary. 500 VA transformer/50 volts secondary = 10 Amps. Therefore the secondary would have to have the larger wire to accommodate the larger current.


What is the capacity 0f 100 KVA electric transformer?

KVA means thousands (K) of volts (V) times Amperes (A). A 100 KVA transformer can deliver 1000 amps at 100 volts or 500 amps at 200 volts etc.


A stepup transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil If the primary voltage is 120 volts what will be the secondary voltage?

A step-up transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil. If there is 120 volts and 10 amps on the primary, what will be the current in the secondary? 2 amps.600v 2A


What is the imput voltage 1500 turns primary 750 turns secondary output 120 volts?

240 volts - the turns ratio of this transformer is 2:1, thus the primary voltage will be two times the secondary voltage.


A step-up transformer has 300 turns on the primary coil and 90000 turns on the secondary coil if the current flowing through the secondary is 5 amps what is the current flowing in the primary?

If a step-up transformer has 200 turns on the primary coil and 3000 turns on the secondary coil, with a primary coil voltage of 90 volts and current of 30 amps, then the turns ratio is 200:3000, so the secondary voltage is 1350 voltage and the available current is 2 amps. (This ignores losses through the transformer.)


How many turns does a transformer need to take 137V on the primary and produce 47V on the secondary with output current of 20A for a 5kVA stabilizer?

You will need a 3:1 ratio transformer. An output current of 20 amps and a secondary voltage of 47 volts, results in a transformer rated at 940 VA.
