On a typical power transformer with 3 pairs of wires ( type used on Dlator ), is there any issue with the wire pairs in terms of which side gets connected in a circuit, or are they equal in that regard.

Re: Transformers and phasing issues
OK, I assume you are refering to the AC input voltage leads on the primary side, the AC filament pair on the secondary side, and the secondary AC (ultimately B+) leads? And you probably have the knowledge to have already grounded the center taps on the filament and the secondary AC coils?
If 'yes', then the answer is: It doesn't matter. They are open coils of wire within the PT. This is why the pairs of wire are the same color. In fact, if you see an odd color without a matching pair, consider the possibility that it is a bias supply tap (If it has AC voltage on it) or a ground connection to the tranny core intended for chassis mount (or even some other unique tap with voltage on it.)
Is this what you were asking about?

Most people stall out when fixing a mistake that they've made. Why?
