Application is an outdoor 30kVA, 480V/400V step down delta-wye transformer to be located within 10 feet of a building panel breaker box. The box has three phase 480V fused power and an input ground wire tied to the breaker box via a screw lug. The output is a 3P4W IEC-309 receptacle, the ground pin of the receptacle has a wire that screws into the breaker box. My question is: Can I use the receptacle ground wire to be the ground for the transformer chassis and X0 of the secondary (via a terminal bar inside and bonded to the transformer enclosure)? Or will I have to run a ground wire independent of the receptacle so that ground is always made regardless of if the plug is in the receptacle. I could not find this detail in NEC.
