Two part question.
First, the secondary of a delta-wye transformer, does it need over current protection even if the primary has over current protection? I am almost positive that it does (despite my idiot boss' claims!!! AHH!)
Second question. Why? I know there is a phase shift between the delta and wye sides but how does that affect the magnitude of the current? And why do I need the protection on the secondary? That I couldn't explain to him. Help me out guys.
Thanks.
