The primary current of a transformer depends upon the secondary current which, in turn, depends upon the load supplied by the transformer. There is not enough information in the question to determine the rated primary and secondary currents of the transformer.
It depends on the rated voltage of its secondary.
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.
The equation for amperage when the kilowatts are known is Amps = kVA x 1000/1.73 x Volts.The electrical code states that a feeder for a transformer has to be rated at 125% for the primary and secondary load amperages.The amperage on the primary needed to supply a 70 KVA three phase transformer to its full capacity at 600 will be 68 amps. 68 x 125% = 85 amps. A #4 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 95 amps.The amperage on the secondary needed to supply a 70 KVA three phase transformer to its full capacity at 480 will be 84 amps. 84 x 125% = 105 amps. A # 3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 115 amps.
There is not enough information provided to answer. KVA is short for "Kilo Volt Amperes". That is, thousands of Volt Amps. In order to determine how many Amperes are flowing, you must know at what voltage it is operating. Amperes = 45,000 ÷ volts Bill Slugg
Transformers are rated in KVA or VA (volt-amps). They transform voltages from one value to another. The current in a transformer is inverse to the voltage. This is why transformers are rated in KVA and smaller ones in VA.
kVA = 1000va Therefore 1000/220 Answer 4.54A

It depends on how many amps it was designed for. A 12.5kV/600v 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~.5 amps on the primary and ~10A on the secondary. A 600/120V 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~10A on the primary and ~50 on the secondary.
kva k-kilo v-voltage a-amps(current)
Yes, but your input current is going to be high at 133 amps. The output of the transformer is not going to be 16 KVA, that is the rating of the transformer.
Since this transformer has a ratio of 1:2 the load current on the 480V side just has to be doubled. 85 x 2 = 170A on the primary. 40.8 KVA transformer. To prove this just find the KVA of both sides and they should be equal.
kva k-kilo v-voltage a-amps(current)
Each phase supplies 15 kVA. The primary has a line-to-neutral voltage of 277 v so the line current is 15,000 / 277 or 54 amps. The secondary has a line-to-neutral voltage of 120v so the current is 15,000/120 or 125 amps.
Yes you could use a 20 kva transformer in a home. Stymied as to why it would be done though. You would need at least a 100 amp service to the home to energize the transformer. Primary side of the transformer would draw 83 amps at 240 volts. If the question was to supply the home, again yes. It would be 100 amp service equipment that the transformer would feed into.

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
