Contact a qualified electrician to wire up your transformer. If you don't understand the basics of this you can kill yourself or someone else.

Hello Guest : Do you have access to the nameplate on the transformer? If so, does it indicate a diagram with an equilateral triangle and a Y with a ground symbol ? And does the nameplate indicate the voltage for the primary, as well as the secondary ?

I definately have to agree with Shawn and Sparkstation!!!!

1st off you should read around 125 on the single phase and around 240-245 phase - phase.

electricity is NOT a DIY subject matter! There are plenty of QUALIFIED Electricians worldwide to help you. Please call one.
