Transformer question (only slightly OT)

Just make *very* sure you get the phasing right; swap the ends of one
of the primary windings and you have a close approximation to a dead
short across the incoming power feed.  Something will blow; if you're
lucky it'll be your mains fuse/breaker rather than the transformer.
