More than likely the fusing was proper. Typically substation transformer size along with fusing is coordinated and engineered rather extensively. My suspicion is that a component failure may have contributed to the total failure of the transformer. It is possible the a fuse did open, but that the fuse holder assembly could have failed in such a way that an arc continued the current flow regardless of the open fuse.
It would be interesting to know exactly what did happen. Chuck WB2EDV Q wrote: >Maybe a lesson in proper fuse sizing is in order???
