    Connecting Neutral Grounding Reactor to Bus Duct

    Thanks LiteYear and Marmite very much for your help. I have checked and it is indeed the case that the neutral is inside the bus duct going to the switchgear in this instance. One of the engineers was mentioning that they could potentially change that and run a bushing out from the transformer...

I apologize as this is all new to me so I'm still...
