Need to know how long the Secondary conductors to see if they qualify for the 10' rule mentioned in 240.21(C)(2) or possibly 240.21(C)(3) or 240.21(C)(3). Is it a single voltage secondary qualifying under 240.21(C)(1)? Basically if the xformer is has 225 KVA capacity and you only want to use it at 75KVA there is no problem and the sizing of the primary conductors should be sized to match the secondary load taking in to considration the voltage ratio and maybe an extra 25% would be a good idea to keep the fuses from clearing on start up. There is no need to protect the secondary of the xformer, just the secondary conductors.
