Abstract
A transformer system includes a transformer module and a base module. One or more transformer modules are detachably coupled to the base module. The transformer module includes a housing, a transformer, primary-side and secondary-side wires electrically connected to primary and secondary terminals of the transformer, a conductive tab electrically connected to a neutral terminal of the transformer, and a first coupling mechanism. The base module includes a base enclosure, a neutral connector electrically connected to a power line neutral connection, and a second coupling mechanism. The second coupling mechanism detachably engages the first coupling mechanism of the transformer module, and the conductive tab of the transformer module is electrically connected to the neutral connector of the base module when the first coupling mechanism is engaged with the second coupling mechanism.
