Question:

Confused with transformer.?

I have a transformer with serial number T.K.K EHT 66001 S-2. I confused with input (primary) wires. it has 5 wires (white red brown yellow and blue). which wires is used for 220 vac?? please help.

Answer:

It looks like you MAY have an auto-transformer, ie only one winding. Off hand, I would say the white is supply live and blue the common return. If you measure the DC resistance of White to all the others and record reading. Then red to all others as above and same with brown, yellow and blue. The pair with highest reading Should be the primary, it doesn't really matter which is live or neutral, as long as you take the return of the secondary to the neutral. The other 3 wires will give you 3 different voltages with respect to neutral, however the EHT in the serial No. May indicate Extra High Voltage, which is not 220v. by any stretch of the imagination. Is there no information whatsoever on the transformer itself? Clear as MUD I know, but I'm not good at explaining things. Your meter should be at the lowest range, as this is DC resistance you are measuring, not AC.
