You are using a transformer with 800 loops in the primary and 80 loops in the secondary . if the transformer is plugged into a 120 v outlet and protected by 15 a cb what is the maximum power rating of an application that could be used ?

Well, then you have misunderstood what PF is about.
Did you read the guidelines?

So some of the work you could show us to get the ball rolling...

-- Given that turns ratio, what is the secondary voltage? Is it in Vpp or Vrms?

-- Is the fuse usually put in series with the primary or secondary winding? Why?

-- Given the fuse value (what's CB by the way?), what maximum current, voltage and power is possible?
