Or how not to  :loco

I needed to make my transformer bread board friendly things are getting Rube Goldberg enough around here.

So I soldered some jumper wires to the primary and secondary transformer leads.

For your entertainment  :lmao:

Speaking of Rube Goldberg

So I start with my big ugly heavy (but fused) variac

A power cord plugged into that with two female connectors (you guys are gonna love this)

Then those cables to breadboard

Which I guess all is not lost when there are plenty of opportunities to reinvent the wheel   :tu:

So the morning after...I'm thinking that's not a good idea to run the primary through a breadboard

 xP

So now will be looking for a safe way to connect power cord from variac to primaries.

Thank you!  Never run primary through breadboard, or even PCB ideally.
