Hi Jonathon, 
      I have a 15/60 fused at 15 A without PFC which I have not managed to 
destroy yet. Based on this, 10 to 12 A for your 12/60 would not seem out of 
line to me. If you are using a PFC cap then you might tighten it up to 8-10 A. 
You don't want the fuse going when you're operating with normal variation. 
Hope this helps, 
Matt D.
