To calculate voltage and current from transformer power in KVA, use the formulas: Power (KVA) = Voltage (V) x Current (A).
Power (KVA) = Voltage (V) x Current (A) / 1000
For a 100 KVA transformer at 400V: Current = 100,000 VA / 400V = 250 A.
For a 50 KVA transformer at 230V: Current = 50,000 VA / 230V ≈ 217.39 A.
Voltage can also be calculated if current is known: Voltage = Power (KVA) x 1000 / Current (A).
