They lost the DC feed to the "Circuit Switcher" on the high side of the transformer. There was no way for the fault to clear.

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???
