  My Electromagnetics is a bit rusty, apply a healthy measure of skepticism:

  I’d say the two fuses are there to protect the transformer itself.

  In the example you use, the upstream of the transformer would be protected by the 280V fuses but the transformer itself will have to suffer the overcurrent, and could be damaged by it. If the transformer is dipped in cooling oil, the overcurrent could even lead to an explosion.

  As for the TUV inspection, the two fuses would be desirable for any TUV cert, and they would be required if there is any chance of explosion.

  Radical Mycology by Peter McCoy.

  I doesn’t have much on genetics, and some chapters are dubious. But great book overall

  I’ve been a subscriber for 4 years now, I find it interesting and relevant, and they don’t seem to have favorites amongst the political parties. They are mostly politics focused tho.
