The same percent, twice
Every transformer has impedance in its own windings, and the nameplate states it as percent impedance, . Read the definition carefully, because everything else follows from it: is the percentage of rated voltage you must apply to the primary, with the secondary shorted, to push RATED current through. A 5% unit needs 5% of rated volts to make 100% of rated amps.
At working loads that impedance costs you a few volts: , where is the drop inside the windings in volts, is the actual load and the transformer's rating (both kVA, so the ratio is bare), and is the rated secondary voltage. The ratio is simply how much of the nameplate you are using — at full load it is 1, and the drop is the full of rated volts.
Measure that same droop instead of predicting it, and you have voltage regulation: , where is the terminal voltage with the load off and the voltage at rated load, both in volts. The base is the FULL-LOAD reading — the loaded terminal, the one your equipment actually lives on.
Now short the secondary and read the same nameplate the other way. If of rated voltage drives rated current, then full rated voltage drives times rated current: . A 5% transformer can deliver twenty times its rated current into a bolted fault. That is the number a panel's interrupting rating has to beat, and note the direction it runs — a LOWER impedance means a HIGHER fault current, which is why the stiffest transformers are the ones that need the most expensive gear behind them.
