How many amps can my transformer handle?
A transformer with a 100 VA rating, for instance, can handle 100 volts at one ampere (amp) of current. The kVA unit represents kilovolt-amperes, or 1,000 volt-amperes. A transformer with a 1.0 kVA rating is the same as a transformer with a 1,000 VA rating and can handle 100 volts at 10 amps of current.
How many amps can a .75 kVA transformer handle?
| Three Phase Transformers, Full Load Amperes (FLC) | ||
|---|---|---|
| KVA | 208V | 240V |
| 75 | 208 | 180 |
| 112.5 | 312 | 270 |
| 150 | 416 | 360 |
How many amps can a 30 kVA transformer handle?

How do I choose a transformer size?
Transformer size is determined by the kVA of the load. Load voltage, or secondary voltage, is the voltage needed to operate the load. Line voltage, or primary voltage, is the voltage from the source. Single-Phase has two lines of AC power.
What size wire do I need to feed a 75 kVA transformer?
This transformer is rated 75,000 VA (75 kVA × 1,000 = 75,000). The primary side current will be 90 amperes (A) (75,000 ÷ 480 ÷ 1.732 = 90.2 = 90). This transformer will be sized for continuous loads; therefore, the conductors must have an ampacity of at least 113A (90 × 125% = 112.5 = 113).
What size breaker do I need for a 75 kVA transformer?
The rated current of the transformer can be used as the basis for a breaker. The rated current of a 3 phase, 75 kva transformer is 112 Amps, which is 25% of the rated current of a 125 Amp breaker.
How many kVA is 30 amps?
Amp. to kVA, table for conversion, equivalence, transformation (Voltage = 220, AC, 3F):
| How many Amps are: | Equivalence in kVA |
|---|---|
| 10 Amps | Equivalent to 3.81 kVA |
| 20 Amps | 7.62 kVA |
| 30 Amps | 11.43 kVA |
| 40 Amps | 15.24 kVA |
How many amps is a 150 kVA transformer?
150 KVA @ 480 3Ø = 180 amps. You can feed it with a 200 but if it’s loaded to the gills, it’ll push the 200 a bit. 150 KVA @ 120/208 3Ø = 416 amps.
How many watts is 1kva?

How do I convert kVA to amps?
Calculation with line to line voltage
- S(kVA) = √3 × I(A) × VL-L(V) / 1000.
- So kilovolt-amps are equal to √3 times amps times volts divided by 1000.
- kilovolt-amps = √3 × amps × volts / 1000.
- kVA = √3 × A ⋅ V / 1000.
- S = √3 × 12A × 190V / 1000 = 3.949kVA.
