I'd like to check control transformer sizing for the control circuit that has two 3 phase 40KW heaters and one motor 15HP. The total of pulling amps came up to roughly 130 Amp.
What size of the transformer should I use to pull these contactors?

Re: Transformer Calculations

I don't understand your question? What does the total equipment load have to do with the control circuit and transformer?

What kind of inspector are you?

Re: Transformer Calculations

It sounds like the three components you named are all turned on and off by remotely - controlled contactors. All that matters is that the load side of the contactors be rated for the currents they will take. The size (i.e., rating) of the coil, and therefore the rating of the control transformer, are matters for the manufacturer of the control devices. It is not an NEC issue.
