By grounding any of the secondary conductors, the voltage to the ground of the ungrounded conductor does not exceed 150 V. Single-phase, 2-wire, 480/120 V transformer. Image used courtesy of Lorenzo Mari This system is typical in small services. It is recommended to ground the neutral at various strategic locations in distribution substations, overhead lines and underground cables, distribution transformers, and all. Abstract - The most common medium voltage electric dis-tribution system in the United States is multigrounded wye using a common neutral for both primary and secondary systems. We conclude by introducing new ground fault detection methods for compensated systems. Solidly- and. Sections 250. This section classifies the systems that must be grounded – unless prohibited elsewhere in the Code – into four categories. Each DISTRIBUTION BOX and controller must be grounded. 26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used.
