I once saw three very large transformers in a fenced area smaller than a typical substation fencing. They were close enough to read some numbers on a metal nameplate which gave a list of about 6 primary tap voltages in the 12000 to mid 13000 volt range. There were some other stamped numbers but it was too far to read them. The wiring appeared to be a wye/star secondary because there were 4 conductor bundles coming from them on the far side. The secondary conductors were very large and looked like they could support a few to many thousands of amps. I could not see the secondary bushings because they were on the far side facing the building. I could not see the primary bushings because there was some kind of enclosure assembly over the top of them (had it not been there, they would have been within object tossing distance from outside the fence). The transformers were three separate units, as opposed to one big one with an E-core. They were styled like round pole transformers, but much larger, with about a dozen huge heat sink fins on two sides of each. The actual tank was about 7.5 feet tall, and about 3.5 feet diameter. They were spaced at about an 8 foot interval. Any guesses as to the volt-amps capacity of these things based on that physical size?
What's the largest transformer made that has 208/120 or 120/240 output?
