A 1000/1333KVA 4160-208Y/120V transformer is feeding two service switches, and each service switch is feeding a 2000A rated switchboard SSA-1 & SSA-2.
What I see as the problem is that max power available if S-SW1 and S-SW2 are operated in parallel is 1008 kva or 1,400 amps at 120/208v, 3p.yet boards SSA-1 and SSA-2 are rated at 2,000. I should think if the transformer is fan cooled we could use the 1333KVA rating and get a 1800A but still short of the 2000A rating of the switchboard. Is my analysis correct? Please see attached.

The rated secondary current of the 1333kVA transformer is 3700A. The transformer supplies two 1800A feeders. I'm not seeing any problem.
