If Transformer is in supervised condition then Select Circuit Breaker near that size but
if Transformer is in unsupervised condition then Select Circuit Breaker next higher
size.
Rating of Circuit Breaker =350Amp (Next Higher Size of 300Amp)
Size of Fuse = 52.49 x300% =157Amp
Rating of Fuse =160Amp (Next Higher Size of 150Amp)
