8/5/2023 0 Comments Transformer color code wire![]() ![]() Black was the primary connection, red secondary for the B+ (plate voltage), red with a yellow tracer was the center tap for the B+ full-wave rectifier winding, green or brown was the heater voltage for all tubes, yellow was the filament voltage for the rectifier tube (often a different voltage than other tube heaters). "Power transformers used in North American vacuum-tube equipment were often color-coded to identify the leads. I have several tfmrs with red leads for 230/240v and light blue for 110/120v.įrom a quick search, found this - & this - wiki has this to say - quote. Tfmr's in some Telequipment scopes follow a similar theme, but when you think about it, if you have a bit of kit made for USA/EU/ASIA mains voltages with several primaries, wire colours are bound to be of the primary colours, stripped/two colour coded wire being less common.
