Power transformer in primary large current compart with secondary that's what power transformer secondary is fused.

As primary will be connected to varying supply it must be fused and as the primary winding carries low current fuse is used as a protecting device if fuse is not used then primary coils will burn.

Depend upon load conditions, current flows through in primary winding. Normally primary winding voltage will be high but less current flows through primary, up-to rated current fuse will be on, above rated current flows fuse melts and stop conduction and provide equipment safe.

If the load of the primary side the high current is flow therefore, the circuit will be damaged so, the fuse definitely connected.

Fused for protection purpose.

Fuse required in small primary transformer only upto 11 kv, when we say transformer as a general. The answer shall be closed.
The primary winding shall be closed then only it will work as a transformer and produce flux. SHORTED IS THE ANSWER.
FUSE IN SECONDARY MOSTLY AT 415 V side yes.
The primary winding shall be closed then only it will work as a transformer and produce flux. SHORTED IS THE ANSWER.
FUSE IN SECONDARY MOSTLY AT 415 V side yes.

Whenever the t/f is overloaded the overload current is drawn from the primary side to protect the t/f from this over current fuse is used at the primary side of t/f.
So the given answer is correct.
So the given answer is correct.

What is the reason for not using the switching method?

@Shamraay, you are right.

The primary side has too many turns so we use low gage wire, therefore, it delicate than secondary as well as costly.
