(OP)
How do I determine the available fault current for a 100MVA xfmr base rating: 230KV delta/26KV wye with 7.5% impediance?

(I'm making an slightly skeptical assumption that this is not a homework problem.)

This result is the three-phase symmetrical fault current through the transformer for a fault on the low side. It does not included any contributions from motors on the low side, or other local sources.
RE: Power XFMR 100MVA xfmr fault current
Dpc, your calculation is correct, and that is the maximum amount of fault current the trandformer can produce. This fault current would be limited by the source feeding the primary side of the transformer.
Downstream of the Secondary side, the fault current would be reduced due to the impedance in the cable, thus the motors and other components in the circuit would not add to the fault current.
So, if trying to protect downstream devices, ensure the device you are using to clear the fault current (fuse, breaker) has an adequate interrupt rating.
Just wanted to add some info from my experience working at a fuse manufacturer.
