Why is transformer core is earthed..

Answer / makku

Because of the construction of the transformer core/winding assembly, there can be high potentials induced into the core, causing partial discharges which will damage the transformer. The core ground diverts this voltage safely to ground. The core ground also provides a low-resistance path to ground if there is a short circuit between the winding and the core, allowing protective relaying to detect it. The core ground may be brought out to a separate, external bushing or it may be connected internally, with cost being the driving factor as to its location. As it is with most investments, you get what you pay for.
