[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 835356, member: 82"] It simply means that the transformer is designed for 50Hz AC mains and has two tappings, 0 - 110V(/120v) AC each. These are placed in series for a 220-240v country, or in parallel by means of the voltage selector switch for the USA and toher 110v countries. Other tappings are also generally available, but the actual transformer is a one-piece affair. USA transformers are designed for 60Hz 110v nominal supplies and could get warm when run in a 50Hz environment. -F_D [/QUOTE]
