My bad…. you’ve quoted my un-proofed post. I’d divided 11,900 Kva by 480V, instead of the correct 0.48 Kv so that should have read 25,000 amps… I’ve corrected my post now.

At your desired 13.2 Kv, that would be about 900 Amps.

Yes, I am ignoring power factor or AC power correction.

Oops- I saw the updated post after I’d posted. Who says we need to send all the current down one line? Especially if we’re distributing 3 phase to part of a large city, say, powering 25 local transformer yards? My intent was to produce electricity directly at a transmission voltage (the higher the better) to make the price of the transmission transformer more palatable.
