I know that this is old hat to some of you but it's bit of a new wrinkle for me.
My client wants a 208Y/120V panel for a bank of EV chargers powered from a 480Y/277V panel via a breaker through a transformer. I can size the transformer and all the OCPD and conductors, and I figure I'll want the transformer to be delta on the 480V primary side and wye on the 208V secondary side. What I'm not quite sure of is the grounding.
If this were a PV system through a transformer I would not run a ground from the panel to the transformer on the primary side, and I would bond neutral to ground on the secondary side and bond them back to building ground. Should I do this the same way?
