I hooked up in my factory a 15kVa 600/240 1ph addition transformer feed from a transfer switch and 2 different switch rooms. The transformer feeds a 4kVa UPS. The input for the UPS is 240V , no neutral. The secondary of the UPS produces a 1ph 120/240V system which feeds the control room in Power House #1.
I have run #2 ground as required and bonded the UPS/TRANSFORMER/Transfer switch to the ground bus that runs around the switch room where it is all located it in minus the LP for the control room.
The transformer needs a jumper between the 2 secondary windings to produce the 240VL-L output. He stated that this "neutral" needs to be grounded to the ground bus with #2 as well. I don't see a point as there are fused points on the high side of the transfer switch, along with fused point on the upside of the UPS and a main breaker in the LP.
The UPS "creates" a neutral on the secondary side of the UPS...... So why do I need to ground and thus create a neutral in the transformer if it doesn't really go anywhere?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
