consider a 100kVA transformer -
Connected phase to phase on 12kv (2 phases of the 3 phase distribution system) it draws 8.3 Amps (each phase) 100*1000/12000=8.3A
Connected to one phase and neutral at 6.9 kV a 100kVA draws 14.4 amps (1.73 time more) 100*1000/6930=14.4A
In simple terms, why is the 1.73 in there? I know somethings not right there. What's missing?
