Location of Circuit Breaker

The designed capacity of the transformer was 1600 watt. The utility company is in shortage of such wattage, so they used two 800 watt transformers in parrallel. The utility company uses only one circuit breaker after the parallel connection. The custmer says it is not correct there should be two separate breakers for each transformer. Which connection is accseptable.

We should use one breaker because when one transformer was overload then 
If one breaker use = breaker is tripped and system is completely off.
If two breaker use = one transformer tripped and load shifted to another transformer thats should damage another transformer.
