AC solenoids have more reactance than resistance. Perhaps you can contact
the manufacturer of the solenoid to determine normal current and then fuse
the circuit at 1.6 times that value. I'd guess 1 amp or so.
Time to invest in some books and some basic test equipment?

At 120 volts that would be 15 Amps, but that ignores inductive reactance.I've got a solenoid with 8 ohms of resistence. Its AC and don't know
where to go to find out how I'd determine what size fuse I'd need. And
where would I go for single phase motors too. I haven't got any books
that tell how to determine what size to use.
