We supply liquid filled pad mounted distribution transformers. 45 kVA three phase or 50 kVA single phase are the standard ratings either side of this. See three phase ratings and single phase ratings.
Full load current
| Configuration | Full load current |
|---|---|
| 480 V three phase | 42 A |
| 208 V three phase | 97 A |
| 240 V single phase | 146 A |
Nameplate full load current, computed from the standard formula. Free to cite with a link to this page. Any other rating, use the kVA to amps calculator.
What this rating is
35 kVA is not a US standard pad mounted rating but does appear as a dry type size and in some international catalogues. The nearest standard pad mounted ratings are 25 and 50 kVA single phase, and 45 kVA three phase.
About 42 amps at 480 volts three phase. If a specification calls for 35 kVA pad mounted, expect a special build with a longer lead time, or agree to move up to 45 or 50 kVA.
Common questions
How many amps is a 35 kVA transformer
About 42 amps at 480 V three phase. About 97 amps at 208 V three phase. About 146 amps at 240 V single phase. Three phase current is kVA times 1000 divided by the voltage times the square root of three. Single phase leaves out the square root of three, which is why the single phase figures are much higher.
What is a 35 kVA transformer used for

Is a 35 kVA transformer pad mounted
Sometimes. 45 kVA three phase or 50 kVA single phase are the standard ratings either side of this.
