Miniature circuit beaker vs fuse in VT secondary wiring
Miniature circuit beaker vs fuse in VT secondary wiring
(OP)
Is there any reason why I shouldn't use a 3 phase miniature circuit breaker rather than fuses on the secondary (110V) side of a VT?
We've always used red spot fuses in the past but have been offered MCBs in the scheme I'm looking at. I can't think of a good reason not to use the MCBs at the moment but I'm sure there must be a reason we haven't done in the past.

I rarely encounter fuses anymore, only when retrofitting some older installations. Although I understand there are fuses with indication contacts as well. Never seen them though.

I like the idea of not having to scrabble around the bottom of my toolbag to find a spare fuse!
