How do I determine the correct amperage for sizing a Transformer
The major load on the secondary of a transformer will be a Roof Top Unit
Since for example, if there was a 75kVA transformer
Pri: 480/3P = 90.2A
Sec: 208/3P = 208.2A
Would I use a 100A breaker for the Primary and a 200 AMP breaker for the Secondary.
Or should I size the Primary as 125A breaker and the secondary as 225 AMP
Since the RTU will be a continuous load
(Based on the roundup rule)
