How many amps does a 15 kVA transformer supply to a 11.5 kW 120-volt load?

To determine how many amps a 15 kVA transformer supplies to an 11.5 kW load at 120 volts, we can start by calculating the load in amps using the formula:

Amps = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts)

First, convert the kilowatts to watts since the given load is in kilowatts:

11.5 kW = 11,500 watts

Now, plug the values into the formula:

Amps = 11,500 watts / 120 volts

Calculating this gives:

Amps = 95.83

This result indicates that the transformer supplies approximately 95.83 amps to the load. Since the transformer is rated at 15 kVA, which translates to 15,000 VA, it has ample capacity to handle the 11,500 watts (or 11.5 kW) load without being overloaded. This confirms that the transformer is indeed capable of supplying the required current to the load effectively and safely.
