Hello
I am building a control cabinet that is destined for Austria. In this cabinet are various devices that will accept input power from 85vac to 260vac 50/60Hz. I am going to install a 400:230 single phase transformer to power these devices. The size will be around 1 to 1.5 kva. I also want to provide a household plug to power trouble shooting equipment.
My question is with respect to grounding the secondary of the 400:230vac transformer. Should I ground the center tap or the bottom tap.
If I ground the center tap I will need 2-pole circuit breakers for all of my circuits?
If I ground the bottom tap of the transformer I only need 1 pole circuit breakers. If I do this, will it suitable for the household plug? The household plugs are of Type C(I think) They have 2 round prongs for power plus a ground prong. If I ground the bottom tap of the transformer it will meen two of the prongs for the plug will be grounded. Is this correct?
Thanks
