An industrial electric arc furnace is connected to the national grid via a step-down transformer:

  • the primary voltage of the transformer is 33 000 V33\,000\text{ V}33000 V
  • the secondary voltage is 400 V
  • the secondary current delivered to the furnace is 1650 A

Calculate the primary current. Use the equation:

Ip=Vs×IsVp I_p = \frac{V_s \times I_s}{V_p} Ip​=Vp​Vs​×Is​​
