Transformer Feeder Sizing Guide

This document provides sizing calculations for overcurrent protection devices (OCPDs) for various electrical equipment for a project. It calculates OCPD sizes for: 1) A 75kVA transformer with a selected 200A breaker 2) A 45kVA transformer with a selected 110A breaker 3) A 30kVA transformer with a selected 70A breaker 4) A 465kVA chiller load with a selected 600A breaker The calculations determine load currents, select appropriate OCPD sizes per NEC tables, and size cable based on ambient temperature derating factors.
