I'm on my phone, but at 110v it's a site transformer.
I believe yellow are 110v site transformers, blue is 240v.

Mine came from ebay.

Re: Mains isolating transformer advice please

that RS link is confusing,
it has pictures with both IEC603 (110v) and SCHUKO (230v) input cables!

that said, i'm not sure a transformer with the output center-tapped to earth is a good idea with switching psu's!!

I'm not sure about that - My 240V:240V 2000VA isolation transformer, bought from ebay in the UK looks like a site transformer, it has the same circular 3 pin output connector as a site transformer, and it is yellow, but for sure it is 240v in 240v out

Re: Mains isolating transformer advice please

yellow plugs and sockets are 110v . blue is 220v . same with external wire colours . plugs and sockets are keyed to try and stop you putting in wrong holes

Re: Mains isolating transformer advice please

yea, i hope your not running a 110:110 isolator at 220v!!!

Re: Mains isolating transformer advice please

for the record,
yellow = 110v
blue = 220v
red = 415v
also is white and purple among others for unusual voltages.
