Dunno. Never saw the primary fuse open tho, maybe there isn't one. I
know there is a recloser on the primary somewhere that can open and
automatically reset but you usually only see that with a fault on the
primary, like a pole down.
I have seen plenty of transformers blow without taking out the
primary.
That is really not my area of expertise but next time I see my FPL guy
I will ask him.

If there is a fuse, it needs to be at the top where that disconnect
ring is.




That disconnect may be part of a breaker. I saw where one tripped and
the lineman pushed it in with a long pole. There may be 2 sperate
devices for all I know of it.


That is the disconnect.

I have a note in to the guy who knows but he hasn't gotten back to me.
The fuse might be that long tube below the disconnect.

Look at that stuff above the transformer, connecting it to the primary
on the top of the pole.


The fuse is the white stick next to the insulator equal-distant
between your 13.5kv and neutral notations. Second insulator
from the top of the pole with a standoff from the pole.
