Hello, I have a single phase 480V primary / 240V/120V center tapped secondary transformer rated at 37.5kVA. Right now it is protected with a 200A CB on the primary and a 400A CB on the secondary.
These seem too large to me. Can someone back me up?
Primary Current = 37500VA/480V = 78.125A
Max Primary OCPD = 2.5 x 78.125A = 195.3125A
Secondary Current = 37500VA/240V = 156.25A
Max Secondary OCPD = 1.25 x 156.25A = 195.3125A
Am I correct about all of this? I am actually not sure if I should be using 120V or 240V for my secondary calculation.
Thanks!
