How to solve a voltage issue in a 25 kva transformer?

In summary, the conversation is about an urgent need for help with a 25 kva transformer in the speaker's house. The volt meter shows 114 volts without load, but less than 1 volt when the house is connected to the transformer. The suggestion is to check for a blown fuse that could be causing leakage current and to seek help from a licensed electrician due to liability issues.

Check if there is a fuse in it that could be blown. If it is, there could be enough leakage current thru it to show on your meter.
