Although this may seem trivial, I am bothered by the dilemma. When grounding x2 of the secondary side of a 120 VAC control transformer, should the ground be directly bonded to the backpanel? By directly bonded, I am indicating that the ground wire is to have ring terminals crimped on both ends and the ground end tex screwed to the
backpanel as close to the transformer as possible.
The problem arose when certain individuals directed X2 to have a green ground wire ran to a grounding terminal block approximately 14 inches away, then jumpered to the neutral terminal block. I became uneasy about this practice and directed two wires to come off X2, a green ground wire and a white neutral wire, with the ground wire being mounted as describe above. Am I overreacting to this situation?
Thanks for the input
