AC arc welder transformer.
I tested the transformer as follows:
-All wires are separated from the switch and from each other
-There are 9 red wires, 6 gray and 2 thick uninsulated copper leads to which the main cables for the electrode holder and ground are connected.
-No wire has contact with ground.
-All red wires have mutual continuity
-All gray wires have mutual continuity
-Two thick uninsulated copper lines have mutual continuity
-There is no mutual continuity between wires of different colors, nor between any colored wires with thick uninsulated copper conductors.
- The resistance was tested and recorded in the table below, using a multimeter with a measuring range of 200 ohms.
Does anyone have an idea how this transformer works or a test method that might be useful in getting the machine up and running?

- The red wires were numbered at the bottom with numbers 1 to 7, two were not numbered and I marked them with 8-9A and 8-9B.
- The gray wires were not numbered and I marked them with numbers 91 to 96.
