Default Blew another damn transformer on my Trane XB80

You should contact the manufacturers of furnaces, and tell
them that they are doing it wrong. They will thank you.
Don't take no for an answer.

So install such a fuse, run the unit and see what happens.

If the fuse blows right away, it's probably too small, so
use the next
bigger fuse; let's say 1.5 A.


We don't need to guess here.
The transformer has a rating. NEVER fuse above the
transformer rating.
If the transformer is a 40va 24 volt transformer the MAXIMUM
fuse
rating is 40/24=1.66 amps - so a 1.5 amp fuse will protect
the
transformer - a 2 amp fuse will NOT.
