While laying on the floor to change taps yesterday on the step up transformer I noticed it says INPUT WYE. The transformer has 3 sets of 3 lugs for input 208, 220, 240. The only other wires on the transformer are 3 lugs for 390v to the infeed unit and 3 lugs at 480v for the cooling pump. The step up transformer frame is grounded to the same place as everything else in the machine.
