NEC Calculator · Standard transformer kVA sizes, 125% continuous-load factor, primary/secondary FLC

Transformer Sizing Calculator

Selects the next standard transformer kVA rating at or above the load (with a 125% continuous-load adjustment where applicable) and computes primary and secondary full-load current.

What it calculates

  • Required kVA after the continuous-load 125% adjustment, if selected
  • Next standard transformer size (15 through 2500 kVA)
  • Primary and secondary full-load current for single- and three-phase transformers

Typical inputs

  • Connected load kVA
  • Whether the load is continuous
  • Primary and secondary voltage, phase

Frequently asked
