Figure #3 Notes:

1.: On the Secondary side's Connections, Terminal "XO would be physically located at the "Dot" above the Green Grounding Bus.

2.: The "Ground Symbols" on the Primary and Secondary sides, are Physical Connections to the Transformer's Enclosure. These Terminations may be either a Factory-Installed Jumper, or a Field-Installed Lug.
