Padmount distribution transformers will typically have internal (under-oil) fuses that are accessible through little ports within the primary connection compartment. There is usually a standard fuse (For overloads; example: Cooper Bay-O-Net fuse) and also a partial-range current-limiting fuse in series.

For pad mounted distribution transformers, do we have fuses in high voltage and low voltage side?

Is this a homework or general interest question?

Can you explain what you are really after, this is not for an actual real world site is it.

Fuse at the riser to protect the URD, ANSI pad mounts have replaceable fuses for overloads and backup current limiting under oil fuses for heavy short circuits.

This may be useful:

Yes:

  • The vendor of the <...transformer...> can. It's only a phone call.
  • A Senior Electrical Engineer at the facility where the <...transformer...> is being designed can. It's only a phone call.
  • A Senior Electrical Engineer at the facility where the <...transformer...> is installed can. It's only a phone call.
  • The "for construction" and "as built" drawings for the installation can. It's a document search. Drawing Office Clerks can. It's only a phone call.

So there's at least four people.
