Installing a transformer might seem like a daunting task, but with the right steps, it's easier than you think. In this video, Dustin walks you through how to properly install a 15 kVA, 208V to 480V step-up transformer. ⚡️ He covers everything from planning the panel setup to proper grounding and bonding techniques, with a focus on critical NEC code requirements. While it's essential to understand how transformers work, this is NOT a DIY project. Hiring a licensed electrician is a must for this type of job to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes. 💪
