When an installation is to be supplied directly from a MV/LV transformer and the maximum apparent-power loading of the installation has been determined, a suitable rating for the transformer can be decided, taking into account the following considerations (see Fig. A16):

  • The possibility of improving the power factor of the installation (see Power Factor Correction)
  • Anticipated extensions to the installation
  • Installation constraints (e.g. temperature)
  • Standard transformer ratings

The nominal full-load current In on the LV side of a 3-phase transformer is given by:

[math]\displaystyle{ \mbox{In}=\frac{\mbox{Pa}\times10^3}{\mbox{U}\sqrt3} }[/math]

where

Pa = kVA rating of the transformer
U = phase-to-phase voltage at no-load in volts (237 V or 410 V)
In is in amperes.

For a single-phase transformer:

[math]\displaystyle{ \mbox{In}=\frac{\mbox{Pa}\times10^3}{\mbox{V} } }[/math]

where

V = voltage between LV terminals at no-load (in volts)

Simplified equation for 400 V (3-phase load):

  • In = kVA x 1.4

The IEC standard for power transformers is IEC 60076.
