2. Grounding transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounding_transformer

   A grounding transformer or earthing transformer is a type of auxiliary transformer used in three-phase electric power systems to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded wye or a delta-connected system. [1] [2] Grounding transformers are part of an earthing system of the network. They let three-phase (delta connected) systems accommodate ...

3. Earthing system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

   An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the equipment's conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes. [1] The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.

4. Zigzag transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigzag_transformer

   It is used as a grounding transformer, creating a missing neutral connection from an ungrounded 3-phase system to permit the grounding of that neutral to an earth reference point; to perform harmonic mitigation, as they can suppress triplet (3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st, etc.) harmonic currents; [2] to supply 3-phase power as an autotransformer ...

5. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

   The purpose of connecting the customer's system to ground is to limit the voltage that may develop if high voltage conductors fall down onto lower-voltage conductors which are usually mounted lower to the ground, or if a failure occurs within a distribution transformer. Earthing systems can be TT, TN-S, TN-C-S or TN-C.

6. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

   Separate grounds for power and safety are also used. Duplication of the ground points assures that the system is still safe if either of the grounds is damaged. A good earth connection is normally a 6 m stake of copper-clad steel driven vertically into the ground, and bonded to the transformer earth and tank.

7. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   The system is common in North America for residential and light commercial applications. Two 120 V AC lines are supplied to the premises that are out of phase by 180 degrees with each other (when both measured with respect to the neutral), along with a common neutral. The neutral conductor is connected to ground at the transformer center tap.

8. Pad-mounted transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad-mounted_transformer

   Single- and three-phase pad-mounted transformers are used in underground industrial and residential power distribution systems, where there is a need for safe, reliable, and aesthetically appealing transformer design. Their enclosed construction allows the installation of pad-mount transformers in public areas without protective fencing.

9. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

   In electrical engineering, isolated-phase bus (IPB), also known as phase-isolated bus (PIB) in some countries, is a method of construction for circuits carrying very large currents, typically between a generator and its step-up transformer in a steam or large hydroelectric power plant. Isolated phase bus during installation at the Bui Dam Ghana ...
