imo we have sufficient factual data to reach basic conclusions
the 875 kva xfmr is not overloaded to the point where output is flatlined at 840
Whatever, its rating is not sufficient for the application.
Now, can we draw a line under this?

875 kva loaded to 840 kva
4000 v
120 line, 70 phase
Z = 4000/70 = 57 ohm
if Z is reduced 10% to 51 ohm
is there any doubt i and S will rise proportionally?
has anyone ever seen a transformer not accept load beyond 95% of its rating?

why do technical posts keep getting censored?
who believes the kva would not increase?
875 kva xfmr rating
840 kva load
4000 vac
121 a line and 70 a phase
so Z = 57 ohm
if dropped to 52 ohm would delivered kva increase or stay at 840?
even if a 25% increase (120% of rating)?

The revised title isn't an insult??
only if you place weight on the opinion of the person who wrote it
lighten up, it's the internet, don't take it personal
it's populated by smug arrogant judgmental @$$clowns who think they are clever and witty
:lol:

The transformer isn't big enough.

One sue sign the transformer is not big enough is it won't allow the motor to run by dropping out contactors due to excessive voltage drop on starting. But OP has not reported any such happening. So reductio ad absurdum, the transformer is big enough.

no, it's a tease.... click bait. it worked.

i've not even made it to the original thread yet..
this is more fun... like suduko, but with more content.

and no disrespect intended to anyone here... but i'm
on vacation, and the irreverence potentiometer is turned up another
quarter turn.... i'm about to run over to your photography
thread.... i've got a camera i've had for a year, that i've not
had a chance to play with until now... and it does 360 panoramic
photos at 12 MP, and 4k video.... https://www.dji.com/osmo

the grand canyon?
