single phase transformer?
single phase transformer?
(OP)
Hello every one I have a problem I am designing a Power distribution panel...And I have the size of the transfoermer wich i did the calculation for a three phase 25 kv @ 3 phase 480 to a 240/120v.
I know that for the primary fuse I will be using 38 amps and for the secondary is a 75 amps. however i would like to know if these numbers would be good for a single phase transformer?
thanks all in advance.

RE: single phase transformer?
Your fuses are a little small.
respectfully
RE: single phase transformer?
25000/(240*1.732)=60.14
60.14*1.25=75.17 amps
Please let me know if this is correct, I will be greatly appreciate.

Primary: 70A/2P
Secondary:125A/2P
This is just an approach but you are encouraged to do your own calculations and conclusions according to the situation (voltage drop for example)

What is your transfromer? single phase or 3 phase?
25kva??
Where does 38A primary fuse comes from? That tells me that you have a 3 phase unit.
a 480V, 3 ph, 25kva tranfromer will have 30A primary amps.
a 240V, 3ph secondary will have 60A. This unit can still have 120V if one of its phases is center tapped. If this is the case your fuse sizes in your original post are correct.
A 480V to 240/120 single phase unit will have 52A primary and 104A secondary.
What is that you have?
