Could someone tell me the proper way to hook up the transformers primaries for 120v?

The secondary is easy but I am not sure what color wires go to the hot, neutral and ground.

Avel Lindberg is a very reputable manufacturer. I agree that the diagram could be better though. Measuring dc resistance from 1 to 2 and 1A to 2 will confirm which way has the most turns and therefore was intended for the higher voltageI would say u should not buy this/use this transformer as the schematic is very vague/wrong.
1 and 2 are not connected.connect 1 and 3 to mains, measure the secondary voltages, and do the same with 1a and 3. any difference? or measure the resistance between 1 and 3 and 1a and 3.
Use 1 or 1A, 4 or 4A. Joining 1 and 1A together will cause a short and things will get very hot very quickly.DJNUBZ said:Any problem with connecting 1,1a and 2 and doing the same for 3,4a and 4?
You can't parallel all three connections for both windings because for some reason they have put the extra part on the opposite ends of the two windings. So for 110V join 1 and 2, and 3 and 4, then use 1/2 for one connection and 3/4 for the other. For 120V join 1A and 2, and 3 and 4A, so the two connections then are 1A/2 and 3/4A. How do I know this? Look for the dots at the end of the winding diagram.
