Thank you,this is very informative. I have an isolation transformer with the same type of setup that you've shown in this video that the manufacture does not explain hoe to hook up.The way that you explain how to wire it in parallel for the output 120v was exactly how i needed to hook this transformer up.

Its simple...When you get your transformer, there should be a sticker on the transformer on how to connect it. The Square D transformer I have is 480/240V and 120/240V. I need 120V. The instructions for 220V are to tie H1/H3 and H2/H4 together. H1/H3 is my line one. H2/H4 is line 2. Then I tie X1/X3 together which will be my hot line. X2/X4 are tricky...Well not tricky. X2/X4 tied together will be your neutral. But make sure you tie X2/X4, (white) wire and a (green) grounding wire, a total of 4 wires together.

This maybe a late reply and you probably already know the answer. But to straighten things out to the people who are watching. The reason why he said single phase is because from incoming power its 480VAC phase to phase. So if you test Line 1 and Line 2 it equals 480VAC. L2-L3=480VAC. L1-L3=480VAC. So if you wire L1,L2 or L1,L3 or L3,L2 from incoming line voltage to the primary side it will equal to 480VAC. So if he wires in line 1 to h1 and line 2 to h4 it will equal 480VAC.

Hi James I need your help. I want to buy used transformers in USA and use it in Africa It reads like this: Pri 480v, secondary 240v/120v. Some say 120/240v. These are dry Square D brand The round ones with oil have different readings. Please help Thanks for your knowledge

Okay but I want to step up 220V to 480V and trying to figure where the 3rd wire goes. If I understand correctly line power should go to X1 and X4 , bridge X2 and X3 and connect common to both of those. Then the HV side would be H1 and H4 as my line power, and bridge H2 and H3 and connect common to those?

On the secondary you can tie together x2 and x3 that will be your neutral and x 1 and x4 will be 120 each and 240 between them also don’t forget to bond neutral to ground to get balanced voltage on both legs

H stands for High Voltage which is on the Primary winding of the transformer. Mainly because most transformers are step down.
