Transformer & Circuit Breaker Sizing Guide

The document provides information for sizing a transformer, circuit breaker, and fuse to supply a total load of 12 kVA at 100% power factor. It includes calculations for transformer ratings, losses, currents, and sizing the overcurrent protection according to NEC 450.3. The recommended circuit breaker size on the primary and secondary sides is 45A and 25A respectively.
