I'm building a larger electric system now, and will be using a seperate low-voltage switch panel. I have not yet dealt with transformers, so I need some advice/help on protecting mine.
I have sized my components and it seems this one is an acceptable amount of overkill. 100VA, 240/120v primary, 24/12v secondary
I am confused by fuses/circuit protection for this. Here's my thinking: 120v 100VA = .83amp So... if I put a 1 pole 1 amp C curve breaker on the primary line side, is this enough protection for the transformer and its components downstream (they are just relays and led switches)? Should I worry about protecting the secondary side as well?
Thanks so much in advance if anyone can help!
