TRANSFORMER WITH IMPROVED ARRANGEMENT FOR PROVIDING A GROUNDING CONNECTION

A dry-type transformer including a housing with a core and coil assembly mounted in the housing. An electrically insulative terminal board is mounted in the housing and a plurality of terminals are mounted on the terminal board in spaced apart relationship to each other and to the housing. An elongated ground strap is selectively mounted to one of the terminals in first and second positions. One end of the ground strap is squared off and the other end has an attachment foot. When the groud strap is in its first position its squared off end is in interferring relationship with the adjacent edge of the terminal board and its attachment foot is spaced on the housing a distance at least equal to the normal spacing between the adjacent terminals. When the ground strap is in its second predetermined position the attachment foot is in juxtaposition to one wall of the housing and is bolted to the wall of the housing to provide electrical connection between the ground strap and the housing.
