5.1 Equipment Grounding This inverter should be connected to an IT system according to IEC 60364, which means that the inverter should be connected to an ungrounded AC system. The step up transformer may have either delta or wye connection for the low voltage winding. However, in case the low voltage winding of the transformer is wye connected, the neutral point should not be grounded. Grounding through a high impedance resistance may be allowed if designed according to IEC 60364. 6.2 Step-up Transformer requirements kVA Frequency Primary Voltage Taps Secondary Voltage Static shield 250kVA 50 Y 2-2.5% taps above and 2-2.5% taps below nominal 300 Delta 300 Delta The transformer shall have static shields between primary windings and secondary windings.
