Multi-Primary Transofrmer Question

Post by Dr Tony Balls »

When working with a transformer like the one listed below, do you have to parallel the two 120V pairs for 120V operation? I think the answer is yes, but just making sure.

So it would be...

120V - black/brown together (neut) - white/orange together (hot)

240V - black (neut) - white/brown together - orange (hot)
I build effects and amps and do custom builds to order. Boom.

When using this type of PT, I usually parallel the leads onto a tag board and then run a single consolidated pair to the DPDT switch and mains cable/socket.
