It appears to me that there is a mistake in Mike Holts Electrical Exam Preparation Handbook. Example 1 on page 243 assumes that there is only primary protection on the 3 phase transformer feeding a panel however 408.36 (B) requires that panelboards supplied by a transformer have overcurrent protection on the secondary side of the transformer which in turn would provide secondary protection of the transformer. The exception only applies to single phase transformers. Given this, the maximum rating of the primary overcurrent protection for the transformer should be 250% not 125%. The answer given is misleading to me. Is there something I am missing?
Thanks
