How much load can a single phase 75KVA OH TX really handle?
(OP)
I am trying to size the single phase TX's i need. I will sometimes need to overload them based on the nameplate. I have personally witnessed many TX's pushed way past their rating. These will be new ABB or Power Partners TX's. I'm sure there is a safety factor I want to say that my utility uses 167% or something like that to size them.....I know heat is a factor also so there is more than one answer....
Thanks,
Bill

From your Industrial tag, I'd assume you're on the customer side rather than the utility side. If so you probably don't actually have any options beyond that allowed by the relevant electrical code, the NEC if in the USA. Utilities are bound by different rules.
