Fuse Sizing

Transformer fuse-link ratings by kVA and primary voltage — Cooper Type D, Type X/KS, Kearney Type K/T, Type 200, and Type QA. Field reference for sizing overhead cutout fuses.

Reference only. These tables are to be used as a guide until a more detailed study can be made by the user. Fuse link ratings recommended will carry the full load of the transformer continuously and open in approximately five minutes at three times full load. Do not fuse the neutral on Wye-connected or open-Delta transformers. For closed-Delta and common legs of open-Delta installations, use the rating for the largest transformer on that leg.
