- If dual-element time-delay fuses are to be used as the short-circuit protective device, what size fuses should be used to protect the circuit in question #12?arrow_forwardA 480-volt three-phase load is rated at 34.5 kVA. It is to be supplied with variable three-phase voltage. Because the load is continuous, the transformers ratings are to be increased by 1.25% of the rated load. Three variable autotransformers are used to supply this load. Refer to Table 4-2 and determine the standard size of each transformer that should be used to make this connection.arrow_forwardTwo transformers rated at 100 kVA each are connected in an open-delta connection.
