Per HotLine1's post:

No, the bond strap or field installed compliant conductor ONLY bonds the enclosure!

The neutral (XO) must have a compliant GEC. (Rod(s); steel;Ufer;etc.)


The Attached Drawings may be of assistance:

Fig. 2: Top View of same Transformer.
a.: GEC runs out the back of the Transformer;
b.: Primary Feeders enter on the Right-Side of Transformer;
c.: Secondary Feeders exit on the Left-Side of Transformer;
d.: 3-Terminal Lug with Green Bolt (connected to XO Lug via System Bonding Jumper) is Physically Bonded to the Transformer Enclosure.

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.
