I recently installed a 480vDelta/208vWye 112.5kva xfrmr back-fed to supply test equipment for a lab. The 68kva load is only turned on about 1hr/month, but the customer is complaining about his power bill showing +/- 1kw-hr consumption when "not in use", or about $90.00 / month. Is it normal for a transformer to consume power, albeit <1%, while under "no-load" situations? My amp-probe confirmed this consumption. I recommended switching off the Main when not in use, but I'm concerned that the CB is not switch rated. Ideas or -gulp!- lessons anyone?
