Grounding Transformer
Introduction
A Grounding Transformer is used to provide a physical neutral for a power transformer with a delta connected downside. The Grounding Transformers neutral point has low impedance and is suitable for different grounding systems such as solid earthing, NER earthing (resistor) and resonance earthing (Arc Suppression Coil). The Grounding Transformer can also be equipped with a low voltage auxiliary winding to be used as local power supply to the substation. Swedish Neutral has together with SGB Germany delivered Grounding Transformers since 1991.

Grounding Transformer
A Grounding Transformer provides a physical neutral where one is needed. A Grounding Transformer with built in local power supply can be used as a local transformer. Swedish Neutral also offers five limb YNd (open) connected Grounding Transformers, suitable for neutral grounding of smaller industry grids.
