Considering the complete lack of details in your question I doubt you're going to get any real answers.
Are you an electrician?

I wouldn't use too small of one, but take care not to use one much larger than necessary.

Better advice is to use one in between those two.

The same as you would use for any other transformer of that size and voltage. The brand of transformer makes no difference, you have to apply the same NEC rules regardless, and they are based on the size and voltage.
If you do not know the size and voltage, then I doubt you are an Electrician, in which case you are in violation of the forum rules.

I agree. Using a fuse that fits in the fuseholder properly is of primary importance when selecting the fuse size.

EMT too but copper pipe has better conduction. Sometimes you have to flatten the ends when you have blade type fuse holders.

Copper pipe works great because the air core reduces skin effect.

I prefer brass nipples. A little harder to flatten but really shinny and I like shinny.
