On a radial there is only 1 feed, on a loop there is either multiple feeders or it ties back into the same feed usually at a different riser or switch gear either at the same location or different.
QUESTION-kind of off topic but is the factory X0 ground strap that usually comes with pad mount XFMR’s a sufficient ground for the X0 or should the electricians be adding one?
All X0 bushings come with a copper bonding jumper to connect the X0 to the tank. Along with this, the cabinet is equipped with a grounding boss near the bottom of the tank wall for bonding grounding conductors and grounding electrodes. The tank wall provides a suitable bond between these two points, however, proper practice will be dictated by local codes, utility requirements, and inspectors.
Thank you Stef! Let us know if there is any other transformer related content that you would find useful. We do have a blog post about this as well: www.maddoxtransformer.com/resources/articles/guide-to-radial-and-loop-feed-transformers/

Why would you choose one over the other?

So radial = parallel circuit and loop = series circuit
No
Good info! Thanks.
Thanks AI!
