I agree. Which method do you see used?Those are two ways to ground the secondary side of a transformer as a Separately Derived System (SDS).
When the primary side system is grounded, another option for grounding the secondary side as a non-SDS is by connecting the primary side grounded conductor to one of the secondary conductors. Then no Grounding Electrode Conductor is required, there is no System Bonding Jumper, and the Supply Side Bonding Jumper is just called an EGC.
Just FYI.

That is because Option 1 is the far superior method in most instances.I use option 1.
The only difference is the location of the SBJ and where the GEC terminates. Why is it better to have those at the transformer?That is because Option 1 is the far superior method in most instances.
