An earthing transformer has a zig-zag connected primary and a star connected secondary with the point earthed. This type of transformer is used to earth the neutral point of a distribution system to limit overvoltages from faults to earth. The zig-zag primary connection cancels out zero sequence currents so they do not flow through the secondary winding or earth connection.
