I’m about to order a transformer and was wonder if I need fusing in the transformer to protect the secondary buss?

I have 13.2KV going through a fused (175E fuse) disconnect to a 13.2kv to 480v, 2500kva, Delta-wye, Transformer then feeding a MCC through a 3200a breaker. I do not have any protection from the secondary of my transformer to the 3200a breaker. Do I need it? Any help would be appreciated.

Normally you will not see and protection other than the main breaker in the MCC.
 
What is the distance between your xfo and the secondary main breaker?
