Hello!

Would anyone know if an 11kV/415V substation rated at 3000kVA would have the same heat load as a 415V switchboard also rated at 3000kVA.

Do the 11kV transformers give off the same amount of heat as the 415V switchboard? They are both rated to 3000kVA however, when i stood next to each one, there felt like more heat off the switchboard.
Is this becuase the switchboard is at high current and low voltage, and the transformer at high voltage low current?

Thankyou.
Marko.
