167 kVA single phase pad mounted transformer
A large single phase service, a rural commercial load, an agricultural pump station. About 40 x 42 x 48 inches and 1,240 lb, carrying 696 amps on the secondary at 240 volts.
Where this rating fits
An odd looking number that is a standard rating, one third of 500 kVA, so three of them make a 500 kVA three phase bank.
Common questions
How many amps is a 167 kVA single phase transformer
About 696 amps at 240 volts, and about 1,392 amps at 120 volts. Single phase current is kVA times 1000 divided by the voltage. There is no square root of three in a single phase calculation, which is the most common mistake people make with this figure.
What are the dimensions of a 167 kVA single phase pad mounted transformer
Around 40 x 42 x 48 inches and about 1,240 lb. Manufacturers vary, so confirm against the approval drawing before the pad is poured. The pad itself needs to be larger than the cabinet, and clearances in front of the doors are set by the utility.
