So the power company upgraded me to a 50 KVA transformer after the 25 KVA exploded. I am running 200 amps at 120v constant. Anyone know if this is safe on that size transformer? I dont want to blow another one, they will charge me a ton of money.

And your load is 200A*120V. That is equal to 24KVA continues. So surprise in a blow.
I am guessing the fluctuations with that would cause you to blow your transformer.
@allcoinminer, how did you come to 24KVA , with 200A and 120V?
