Earthing transformer electrical 
connections

4.3.1 Standard procedures

The steps to follow when performing the electrical connection 
for the earthing transformer are as follows:

1) 

Verify that the electrical connection network for the 
earthing transformer matches the service values 
indicated on the earthing transformer’s name plate.

2)

Open all sources of electrical voltage, interlocking or 
blocking the necessary cutting devices, to avoid any 
possible feedback.

3)

Verify there is no electrical voltage.

4)

Connect to earth and short-circuit all sources of 
electrical voltage.

5)

Restrict and properly indicate the working area.

6)

Check that there is the correct level of dielectric fluid.

7)

Earth the earthing transformer’s tank, earthing its 
built-in connections by means of the round 
connection terminals using regulatory gauge 
grounding cable. 

Tools:

Regulation gauge earthing connection cable.

Proper diameter round terminals.

1 M12 screw (M10, on request).

2 14-mm washers (one for each side of the 
connection terminal) (12 mm for M10)

Use a 40-60 Nm tightening torque for M12 (25-35

 

Nm 

for M10).

DANGER

Risk of death due to electrocution and irreversible 
damage to the machine or the electrical system

Electrical connection operations for the earthing transformer can 
only be performed by certified technical personnel, and always 
by those familiar with appropriate electrical safety measures.

CAUTION

Risk of irreversible damage to the machine or the 
electrical system.

The electrical connection network for the earthing transformer 
should match the service values indicated on the earthing 
transformer’s name plate.

CAUTION

Risk of irreversible damage to the machine or the 
electrical system.

In case of a dielectric fluid leak, contact 

Ormazabal

.

CAUTION

Risk of irreversible damage to the machine or the 
electrical system.

The first electrical connection performed for the earthing 
transformer should be to earth the tank.

CAUTION

Risk of irreversible damage to the machine or the 
electrical system.

Tightening toques must be used to warranty  the correct 
electrical contact with said connections.

CAUTION

Risk of irreversible damage to the machine.

Tightening torques must be used to warranty the correct 
electrical contact with said connections.
