Leave the strap to the frame in place.

Bond the green wire from the 480 volt side and the green wire on the 120/240 side and the building steel and any metal water pipes in the vicinity served by the secondary to the enclosure. the strap will connect the equipment grounding system to the neutral connection of the transformer.

The objective here is to clear any ground faults by ensuring a low impedance path back through the equipment ground to the neutral connection at the transformer.

On the 480 volt side, the equipment grounding conductor needs to also be connected to the enclosure to create a low impedance path back to the 480 volt distribution center, then to the service and back to the utility transformer to clear any faults to the transformer enclosure.

We cannot clear any ground faults without a complete low impedance path through the equipment grounding system.
