    Size of LV cables of a Transformer

    Dear dydt, Many thanks for that answer, it was the answer I was hoping for. I have read several books but cannot find a hard and fast answer to my question. I was not sure if short circuit current came into the equation, but I shall use your solution. Again many thanks, Paul

    Size of LV cables of a Transformer

    What determines the size of LV cables on a Transformer ? Say on a 11000/415 volt 800 kVA, is it the conected load or the the actual kVA Rating?
