Result & worksheet

90.2 A full-load current

Recorded summary

  • 75 kVA
  • 480 V
  • Three-phase
  • FLC: 90.2 A

Formula used

I = kVA × 1,000 ÷ V (1φ) or ÷ (√3 × V) (3φ)

Calculation steps

  1. 75 kVA × 1,000 ÷ (√3 × 480 V)

Assumptions

  • Rated kVA at full load
  • Balanced three-phase load
  • This does not size protection, conductors, or secondary taps

Verify before use

  • Nameplate voltage, kVA, impedance, temperature rise, and connections
  • Primary and secondary protection rules
  • Secondary conductor and grounding/bonding requirements
  • Available fault current and equipment ratings
