It depends on the voltage on line side. KVA is simply thousand volt-amps, so you need to know voltage in order to calculate amperes.

Another Answer

The rated primary current is the rated apparent power of the transformer, divided by the rated primary current. However, the actual primary current is determined by the actualsecondary load current in proportion to the reciprocal of the turns ratio.

How many amps can a volt transformer with a A volt secondary carry?

The number of amps a transformer can carry on its secondary side depends on its power rating (in watts or VA) and the voltage of the secondary winding. You can calculate the current (in amps) using the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For example, if you have a 1000 VA transformer with a 10V secondary, it can carry 100 amps (1000 VA / 10V = 100A). Always ensure the transformer is rated for the desired load to avoid overheating or damage.


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 does a 277 volt primary and 120 volt secondary transformer draw with 6 amps on the secondary?

Assuming the transformer is ideal, the current on the primary side can be calculated using the formula for power: P(primary) = P(secondary). Since power is the product of voltage and current, the current on the primary side would be 1.38 amps (277V x Iprimary = 120V x 6A).


How many amps does a 120 Volt irrigation controller draw?

Different controllers have different outputs depending on how many valves are on each zone. In the device there is a control transformer. Look for the VA output of the transformer's secondary side. Mine states 20 VA at 24 volts. To find the amperage use the following equation. I = W/V. Amps = Watts or VA/Volts. Mine can output 20 divided by 24 = .83 amps. This amperage will be the maximum output in amps that the controller can produce to operate the zone valves. To find the current draw of the primary side of the transformer divide the transformers VA by 120 volts.

How do you calculate power for a delta connected three phase autotransformer?

The maximum power output of the transformer is measured in VA or KVA, (volt-amps) or thousand (volt-amps). That will will marked or stamped on the transformer. If you want to measure the amount of power being used by the Xformer, measure the Line side current in amps with an amprobe and multiply by the line voltage to it. The result in watts is the power consumption.

How many output amps is a 75 kva transformer?

For single phase, KVA = (line to ground) * (phase current). A 75kVA 480 to 208Y/120 volt transformer is a fairly common transformer. I assume this is the type of transformer you are referring to. 75k / 120 = 625 Amps. As an FYI, the 208Y voltage is the line to line voltage, which is equal to (phase 1) - (phase 2), where the phases are separated by 120 degrees, thus (phase 1) * 1.732 For three phase, kVA = (line to line voltage) * (phase current) *(sqrt 3), 75k / 208 / 1.732 = 208 Amps.

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


What is the line side of the 3 phase transformer?

The primary line side of a 3 phase transformer should be marked H1, H2, H3. The line side is the incoming voltage that you want to step up or step down or isolate.


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.


Is transformer side interchangeable?

yes,we can change the transformer side in transmission line as use of high current or high voltage in output.


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 can you connect a 1000kvaelectric generator to a 1000kva transformer to step up voltage 11000 volts?

To connect a 1000 kVA electric generator to a 1000 kVA transformer for stepping up to 11,000 volts, first ensure that the generator's output voltage matches the transformer's primary voltage rating. Connect the generator's output terminals to the primary side of the transformer, ensuring proper phase alignment. The secondary side of the transformer will then output the stepped-up voltage of 11,000 volts. It's crucial to follow safety protocols and check all connections for compliance with electrical standards.


What is the load side of a transformer?

The load side of a transformer feeds the device, such as a light or motor. It is the output of the transformer. The input, or line side, provides the voltage that is to be transformed, either up or down, to supply the load side.AnswerA transformer's primary winding is connected to the supply voltage, and the secondary winding is connected to the load.
