Hello all,
I have a question regarding prm/sec fuse sizing. This is for an Extruder application. The primary feed will be 480 vac 3 phase and the secondary will be 240 vac single phase. The way it has been it set up is 2 legs from the 480 will feed 3 separate 7.5 kVA transformers. I can only assume the previous engineer used this setup for load balancing as he is not here anymore.
480 VAC
L1 & L2 ---> Primary of first transformer.
L2 & L3 ---> Primary of second transformer.
L3 & L1 ---> Primary of third transformer.
From the secondary side of the transformers all X2 legs will be tied to ground and a Neutral distribution block. All the X1 legs will be separated fused and terminated at a power distribution block.
The question of the hour is when sizing primary fusing should i size for three phase or single phase?
Thanks in advance.
