Where a 5000 kVA pad-mount transformer fits

Three-phase pad-mounts at 5000 kVA are typically used for a single large low-voltage service, such as a large industrial building or a data hall fed from one switchboard. A 480Y/277 secondary suits motors, HVAC equipment, and 277 V lighting, and is the usual choice for larger commercial and industrial services.

Full-load secondary current is the first sizing check: at 480Y/277 a 5000 kVA 3-phase unit draws about 6,014 A at full load. The secondary conductors, main breaker, and switchboard or panel have to be rated for that current.

The 12470Y/7200 primary expects a grounded-wye feeder with a neutral, so confirm the utility or site system before ordering.

If the calculated load sits close to 5000 kVA, compare the 2500 kVA page under Nearby sizes before choosing a rating.

What to confirm before buying a 5000 kVA pad-mount transformer

  • Primary voltage and connection against the utility or site feeder. Rows here list 12470Y/7200.
  • Secondary voltage against the service you are building. Rows here list 480Y/277.
  • Taps (2x2-1/2% ANBN) and bushing layout (Dead/Loop (Pad)). A loop-feed unit has two sets of primary bushings and a radial-feed unit has one.
  • Percent impedance from the nameplate, which sets the available fault current at the secondary and has to suit downstream equipment ratings.
  • Insulating fluid type, because site and fire rules can limit mineral oil close to buildings.
  • The factory test report for a new unit.
  • Pad dimensions, shipping weight, and offloading. With FOB origin shipping, the buyer takes responsibility for the unit once it leaves the origin.

Why buy surplus vs. new

A new pad-mount transformer is built to the voltage and accessory spec on the order, so the lead time is whatever the factory quotes. Cleared surplus in the table already exists, and the lead time to use is the one printed on the row.

On this page, availability is In stock and lead time is Ships from stock. Gripp does not add a ship date the lot does not state. Shipping is FOB origin.
