A 15A will be to close to the limit. 20A will be better.

Schmitt Trigger type IC should be used with CT and averaging if 15A IS DEFINITELY THE UPPER LIMIT.

May be 2 level Control--14.5A and final trip at 15.5.

Melting wire fuse -never !

In the Ccts having Motors to run or a large I/P Filter capacitor?

For the 1st Slow-Blow fuse of 20A is recommended.

For the 2nd a Semi-Delay fuse 20A is OK
