Electrician Red Seal · Question

An electrician is troubleshooting a 75 kVA single-phase transformer. If the primary voltage is 2400 V and the secondary voltage is 120/240 V, what is the rated full-load current on the 240 V secondary winding?

The rated full-load current (I) can be calculated using the formula I = kVA * 1000 / V. For the 240 V secondary, I = 75 kVA * 1000 / 240 V = 312.5 A.
