Connecting 230V to a Double 115V Transformer

K

kergen

I have a chassis mount transformer, 50VA 12V output, the input has four
terminals, left to right:
0 - 115V 0 - 115V

How do I connect 230V to this, do I connect neutral to the 0 on the left,
link first 115V to second 0, and live to the second 115V?

Any advice greatly appreciated...!

Connect one hot to the "0" of one winding, the "115V" of that winding to
the "0" of the other winding, and the "115V" of the second winding to
the second hot. This makes the windings add up to 230V.

I have to admit I'm curious as to what the resulting output of the
transformer would be if the two 115V coils were wired in parallel to 115
volts.
