How many amps are in 1500 watts of power?

How many amps is 1500 watts? If you have an electrical appliance using 1500 watts of power on a 120v circuit, you can use the equation Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) ÷ Voltage to calculate that the draw of the electrical appliance is 1500 / 120 = 12.5 amps.

How big of a conductor do I need for a transformer?

Personally, given the transformer rating is only about 1400A, I would go with 2 x1 x 500mm2 Copper conductor AWA per phase and neutral. Over 20m, I would assume solid bonding at both ends so (and you’ll need to calculate) you may well have enough armour in place anyway.
