Greetings folks,
I'm building a G-Pultec, utilizing 2 Antek transformers...110:12V and 110:6.3V (I'm in the US). As of now I'm blowing the PCB fuse (250v/4AT as recommended) every time I fire it up, leading me to believe I've got some sort of fundamental misunderstanding with regards to the wiring of the transformers.
The color coding is a little different on these guys, primaries are red/black red/black, secondaries are blue/green blue/green.
The schematic supplied looks like this:
Red \ / Green
Black 115v/ \ 12v Blue
Red \ / Green
Black 115v/ \ 12v Blue

My two questions are:
What is the correct configuration with these wires to achieve parallel and series?
How exactly can I test to ensure that I've got things wired up correctly?
I've done a ton a reading on the subject and all the descriptions of the testing process I've come across are extremely vague - I don't want to fry myself! If someone could give me a step by step explanation of how to proceed here (or point me to a reliable resource online on the subject) I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks in advance.
