    Fuse selection for transformer inrush current

    The primary voltage is 400V 3 phase the 5x full load current refers to the manufacturers rating of a maximum inrush current of 5 x the full load capable of the transformer. full load is approximately 320A therefore 5 x is 1600A. you then square this number and multiply by 0.1 secs. my...
