just curious what you guys do.
I am writing some specs for doing various things, and it occurred to me that a consistent manner of grounding and bonding of SDS transformers might be useful.
I am not sure, but it appears that at least some of the xfmrs we are using have some kind of a ground stud that comes with it attached to the enclosure. if it did not come with one, a machine screw could be added.
What I am thinking of doing is having the neutral, GEC, and EGC all tie to that stud, which would also become a de facto SBJ.
I can't see any real issues with this, but I thought I might put it out there for comments.
Not sure how to handle xfmrs with no enclosure. They might have to be handled a little differently.
I am kind of thinking I might add a lug near the xfmr for the GEC to land on. Having said that I know the chances of anyone actually bringing in a GEC approaches zero.
