Formulas:
Three-phase: Amps = 112,500 ÷ (Volts × 1.732)
Single-phase: Amps = 112,500 ÷ Volts.
The tables below cover primary amps and secondary amps for the voltage levels present in our 112.5 kVA transformer inventory. Use these values for overcurrent device sizing per NEC Article 450, feeder conductor ampacity selection, and panel schedule design.

A 112.5 kVA step-down transformer reduces voltage from primary to secondary most commonly 480V to 208Y/120V for North American commercial power distribution. A 112.5 kVA step-up transformer increases voltage, for example from 208V to 480Y/277V, to feed higher-voltage equipment from a lower-voltage source. In most dry-type designs, the same physical unit can serve either function depending on wiring but always specify intended primary and secondary voltage to ensure correct nameplate design, warranty coverage, and NEC compliance.

For a three-phase secondary at 208Y/120V: Amps = 112,500 ÷ (208 × 1.732) = approximately 312 A. For single-phase at 240V: 112,500 ÷ 240 = approximately 469 A. Always confirm against the nameplate for final NEC 450.3 overcurrent device sizing.
At a 480V three-phase primary: Amps = 112,500 ÷ (480 × 1.732) = approximately 135 A. This figure is used for feeder conductor sizing and upstream overcurrent protection selection per NEC Article 450.
Weight typically ranges from 400 to 1,200 lbs depending on phase (single vs. three-phase), winding material (copper vs. aluminum), and enclosure type. Three-phase copper-wound units in NEMA 1 enclosures are at the upper end. Always request certified shipping weight for structural loading and freight planning.
New unit pricing varies by manufacturer, voltage configuration, winding material, and efficiency class. Contact Bruce Electric for a current quote. Used and reconditioned 112.5 kVA transformers are available upon request through our RFQ process and can offer 20–50% savings versus new.
Yes. All new low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers sold in the U.S. must meet DOE 2016 minimum efficiency standards. Super-Efficient series units (Acme TPC3-series, Hammond HPS Super-centurion) exceed these minimums and deliver additional lifecycle energy savings.
