We were tossing a UPS power supply at work and I figured I'd claim a few parts off it before tossing it. Inside is this VERY heavy transformer. Just wondering if it's anything useful to me?

How do I find specs on it? Googling the numbers gives me a few hits, but I can't seem to find anything that tells me what voltages it outputs.

Which leads do I connect to in order to test it?

Just hook A/C to the red and black leads, and see if it explodes. If it doesn't, check the voltage (ac) between the yellow and white wires, then the ac between the blue and black wires.

BTW, if it DOES explode, just throw whatever's left in the trash.
