I was hoping I could get some insight as to how I mitigate an inrush current situation that I'm experiencing. My current set up is 208v 3phase feeding a 75KVA transformer to boost the voltage to 480v to run a CNC waterjet. The current service in the shop is 100amp. I've done some research and sort of understand that when I shut the breaker off, one of the coils typically becomes energized, because it's not at the 0 level leading to the inrush current the next time I turn on the breaker which blows one of the 100amp fuses at the main. I know that's probably a very bad description, but I'm by no means an EE. I've read about Control Switching Devices, Phase Syncing Devices, soft starters. I'm trying to wrap my head around what I would need to do so that I don't keep blowing fuses everytime I switch the breaker on. Appreciate any input.
Thanks
