Hi
First time posting on here, hopefully I've put this in the right place
I am helping someone out with the electronics side of their model railway layout, we are using a microcontroller system to control relays, servos etc. We are looking at powering this via a transformer which was recommended (link below, we have the 504-252 model) with a variable buck converter on each output. Looking at the datasheet it doesn't seem to have an earth connection, so if I were to wire a 3-pin UK mains plug to it in the 230V arrangement is there an earth point I have missed, or should I try and find a way to screw the earth wire to the housing? The whole thing will be inside a box or enclosure of some kind so it won't be exposed in any way
I've attached the datasheet

Thanks in advance
