I guess I probably should have tested my transformer first, but I guess I'm a backwards sort of guy anyway. 
So I have it off on the bench and I have the two black leads which I assume are the AC in, two bluish green wires, two red wires, two white wires, two yellow wires and one brown and one green.
I'm assuming the brown and green are the bias wires for the red and yellow leads since my ohm readings are halved by them when testing ohm's. The two black leads have only .3 ohms resistance between them which seems low to me. None of them show shorted to the case. When I hook the two black wires to the variac if I put more than 3 or 4 volts to it my 3 amp meter pegs. Am I checking this correctly or is the transformer bad? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah, it's a 32-8248 transformer.
