Overview

Rockwill Zigzag (Z-Type) Grounding Transformers provide a reliable artificial neutral grounding solution for power systems where the neutral point is unavailable, such as delta-connected or ungrounded star systems. These specialized transformers create a stable neutral point for connecting arc suppression coils (Petersen coils) or neutral grounding resistors, ensuring safe and effective system grounding.

Additionally, Rockwill grounding transformers can be equipped with a secondary winding to supply auxiliary power, offering a cost-effective alternative to separate station transformers.
