On a single winding secondary the connection terminals are labeled X1 and X2. A ground wire is connected to the X2 terminal and then connected to the transformer frame and then connected to the system ground.
Additional Answer
In Europe, centre-tap Transformers are not used for single-phase supplies. The neutral is provided by simply earthing (grounding) one end of the secondary winding, and taking the line conductor from the opposite end. This provides a single nominal voltage of 230 V between line and neutral. The earth conductor for the secondary winding is segregrated from the earth conductor which earths the transformer's core and tank.

What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.
On a stup down transformer what does the xo symbol mean?
On a step down transformer XO symbol denotes the secondary split phase grounding point. This is also where the neutral of the three wire secondary is connected. The transformer connection is known as a single phase - three wire - with one secondary winding.
How many earthing are required to install transformer?
Four number earthing are essential for installation of transformer as under : 1) Two earthing for transformer body. 2) Two earthing for Neutral Point. Note : Numbers of earthing may be increase as per the client requirement.
Voltage across Neutral and earth for a 3 phase auto transformer?
A grounded neutral will be at earth potential. A floating neutral will be at a voltage dependent upon the voltage imbalance between phases, and the design of the transformer.
How do you earth in the 1600 kva transformer?
In 1600 kva transformer we provide NGR (Neutral grounding resistance)
What happen if you apply triangular input to transformer?
there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils

How do the earth active and neutral wires work in a house?
Neutral mean is zero potential and neutral wire it has been taken from the Distribution Transformer " Y " point (Xo). This point " Xo " is directly grounded through the dedicated grounding system.

How does the NGT works?
NGT means Neutral Grounding Transformer. It is Connected between TRF star point and earth point. It is protect the trf from short ckt .
Why is the neutral point grounded on a transformer?
The secondary side (output) of a three phase transformer develops a "separately derived system". That is why you do notsupply a neutral to a three phase transformer. It develops its own reference to ground by being bonded to the transformer casing and to a substantial earth ground, such as a ground rod. The XO tap on a transformer provides the neutral to the secondary line. It will have a double wire lug. The neutral wire going to the panel being supplied goes under one lug and the same size wire is to go to the ground lug on the transformer chassis The ground lug is also a double with the other lug to be wired to the earth ground.
How do you install earthing neutral for transformer in transformer room?
you shouldn't do it yourself, get an electrician.
Why neutral is ground in the circuit?
In the transformer at the secondry side one end of the winding will make star connection means 0 point there will be no voltage at that end if any leake voltage appear at that point it have to ground that what all the neutral points to be grounded
what is neutral earthing and body earthing of transformer?
Neutral earthing refers to the practice of connecting the neutral point of a transformer or electrical system to the ground, providing a reference point for the system voltage and enhancing safety by preventing overvoltages. Body earthing, on the other hand, involves connecting the metallic body of the transformer or electrical equipment to the ground to protect against electrical shock and ensure safety in case of insulation failure. Both methods are essential for maintaining system stability and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
What is the star point of a CT?
The term, 'star point', refers to the common point of connection for the three windings of a star-connected (wye-connected) transformer connection. The star point is usually earthed (grounded) and provides the neutral point of the connection.
Voltage across Neutral and earth for a 3 phase auto transformer?
A grounded neutral will be at earth potential. A floating neutral will be at a voltage dependent upon the voltage imbalance between phases, and the design of the transformer.
