Transformer Question

I have a 45KVA 480-208y/120 volt transformer with a 15 degree rise. I
understand you can overload transformers. What does the NEC allow for the
secondary side load on a 45 KVA transformer?

Can you feed a 200Amp 208Y/120 volt panel from this?

 

The full load rating of the transformer is 125A. The NEC allows secondary
protection at 125% of rating, or 156A. SInce it is over 150, you are allowed
to go to the next higher standard rating, which is 175A.

You need to determine if this would adequately serve the panel loads. You
also need to verify proper protection of the wiring, transformer life, and
any other factors that you may not have mentioned in your post.
