2 to 5% of full load current
In electrical engineering, the percentage impedance of a transformer is the voltage drop on a full load, which is expressed as a percentage of the specified rated voltage. It's measured by conducting a short circuit test.
It does not depend on the line. The regulation is the percentage change in voltage caused by applying the full load current, and that depends on the transformer supplying the line. A value of 5% would be typical.
Transformer short circuit tests are used to determine the impedances (positive and zero sequence) of the transformer. A simple explanation: to do this one winding is shorted, and voltage is applied to another winding to circulate the normal full load current of the transformer. The impedance of the transformer is the applied voltage divided by the induced current. If one winding was not shorted, the voltage divided by induced current would not give the impedance of the transformer - the induced current would be much lower, giving a much higher impedance measurement that would be essentially meaningless.
To start a 15 hp motor, you typically need a transformer that can handle the motor's starting current, which can be significantly higher than its running current. Generally, the starting current can be 6 to 8 times the full-load current of the motor. For a 15 hp motor, the full-load current is about 18-20 amps at 230V or 10-12 amps at 460V, so the transformer should be rated to handle at least 100-160 amps. Additionally, it's advisable to consult the motor's specifications and consider factors like starting method and application to determine the exact transformer size.
First find the ratio of the transformer. 6600/220 volts. Second find the secondary current, I = W/E, 99000/220. Third divide the secondary current by the transformer ratio. The answer will be the primary current. To check your answer (W (or VA) = V x A) multiply the primary current times the primary voltage and the secondary current times the secondary voltage and they should both equal the transformer's kVA.
is it primary current ?

Percentage reactance of a transformer (or in general, a circuit) is the percentage of phase voltage drop when full load current flows through it, i.e %X=(IX/V)*100. Now Short Circuit Current is V/X So short Circuit current is I*(100/%X).

It is the rated maximum current that can be taken from the transformer. This is equal to the VA rating divided by the output voltage. So a 6 kVA 240 v transformer would have a maximum current rating of 6000/240 or 25 amps.

No load current, in a transformer for example, is the current necessary for exciting the transformer. If you wish to keep it energized, and you need to keep it energized at full voltage, there is nothing you can do to reduce this other than replace the transformer with one that has lower no load current. If you are referring to a different piece of equipment, you may need to specify what you are meaning by "no load current".
No load current depends on the design of the transformer, and what voltage it is energized at. It will typically be below 1% of full load, and can be significantly below 1% for utility sized transformers.
The transformer impedance is the amount of voltage applied for transformer during the load test.Answer.I really don't agree with the answer given by the previous user.Impedance is the total vector opposition offered by the transformer to the flow of current i.e the vector sum of its pure resistance (R) and it's inductive reactance (XL). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedanceAnother AnswerThe 'impedance' of a transformer is usually expressed as a 'percentage impedance', which is defined (perhaps rather confusingly!) as the ratio of the primary voltage that will result in the full rated current flowing through the secondary, to the rated primary voltage.
The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.
It depends on the rated voltage. Take 1600 KVA and divide by KV, and you will get A.
