Yes, I've seen that convention. But if you buy a
transformer over here,
the connection tags will be labelled 0V and 17V or whatever. I've never
seen a physical transformer marked with a dot (that's not to say they
don't exist).
Yeah, nothing marked to tell us of phases. :) So that invites
mistakes by unwary who makes power supplies on their own. That why I
offered warning. :)
(hey, my power supply did not work...) eyes up. :)
