Default What gauge wire for fuse; VA vs. W

Are you sure that what melted was a 'fuse' rather than a jumper from one
spot on the board to another?

1) I have an 120 to 18 volt AC wall transformer, plug-in, Class 2, and
it appears someone shorted the secondary and blew the wire "fuse"
inside.

It's rated at 45VA. What gauge wire should I use to replace the fuse?

There doesn't seem to be a trace of it left, that I could find.

2) Since I'm here, how come it is written as 45va, instead of 45
watts, or 2.5 amps?

Thanks
