There is a misconception that a step-up transformer 'steps up voltage, but steps down current'. Nothing could be further from the truth!
The secondary current of any transformer is determined by the secondary voltage and the load which it supplies. It is NOT determined by the primary current!
In fact, it is the primary current that is determined by the secondary current -not the other way around.
So, to answer your question, your step-up transformer has a voltage ratio of 1:2.3, so the primary current that results from a secondary current of 150 A must be 2.3 x 150 = 345 A.

100 amps mccb trip when charged it is connected to small power transformer?
what is the fault in the transformer, it trips when it is charged.it is charged through the 100 amps MCCB.
What is the ampere range value of transformer?
This typically has to do with how many amps you can safely pull from the secondary of the transformer.
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 will a 10 kva transformer handle?
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.
7200 volt 25kw transformer how many amps at 240 single phase?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
18kW motor will take how many amps?
To calculate the amps drawn by an 18kW motor, you can use the formula: Amps = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, the motor would draw approximately 150Amps. Note that actual amps will depend on the specific voltage of the motor.
How can you find the rating for a Current Transformer?
depends on the type of transformer, does it have any markings? just type them into google or look for a capital a 'A' for amps or mA for mili amps.
100 amps mccb trip when charged it is connected to small power transformer?
what is the fault in the transformer, it trips when it is charged.it is charged through the 100 amps MCCB.
How many amps can you get from a 500Kva transformer?
The amps you can get from a 500 kVA transformer would depend on the voltage of the transformer's output. To calculate amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Power (kVA) / Voltage. For example, if the output voltage is 480V, you would get approximately 1041 amps (500 kVA / 480V).

Unanswered questions-how many amps for a 500KVA transformer.?
To determine the amps for a 500 kVA transformer, you can use the formula: Amps = kVA × 1000 / (Voltage). For example, at a standard voltage of 480V, the calculation would be 500,000 VA / 480V, which equals approximately 1041.67 amps. The specific current will vary based on the voltage level used with the transformer.
How many amps does a 600 watt low voltage transformer box pull?
The transformer itself does not pull current. Whatever you connect to the transformer pulls current. Whatever the output voltage of the transformer is, divide that into 600 and you get maximum current possible without burning up the transformer. At 24V that's 25 amps.
How many amps will a 0.25 kilo volt amp transformer at 120 volts put out?
2.083 amps
Can you put a transformer on a 32 amp generate to drop the amps to 16 amps?
The purpose of a transformer is to transform one voltage to another voltage. This can be in the configuration of stepping up the voltage or stepping down the voltage . The load is what establishes what the current from the transformer is going to be.
How many amps will a 250 kVA transformer in 220 volts secondary?
To calculate the amperage in the secondary side of a transformer, you can use the formula: Amps = kVA / (Volts x Sqrt(3)). For a 250 kVA transformer with a 220-volt secondary, the amperage will be approximately 660.4 Amps.
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.
