Transformer Tank Grounding Connectors
🔧 Transformer Tank Grounding Connectors – Detailed Overview
Transformer Tank Grounding Connectors are engineered grounding components used to create a secure and highly conductive bond between a power transformer’s metallic tank and the substation grounding system. They play a critical role in safely channeling fault or leakage currents to earth, minimizing the risk of equipment damage and protecting personnel.
