Hey Morning Biorn

You mentioned on the wiring photo suggestion to cut short the orange and seal it off with heat shrink tube and to twist together the brown gray wires, would they also need to be shortened and sealed off with heat shrink tube? Since they aren’t used?

Thanks

The orange is not used. The grey and brown should be connected to each other. They connect 2 x 120V bobbins in series to create 230 or 240V primary.. depending on connecting the blue or white wire. So
1. Cut short the orange and seal it off
2. Cut short the grey and brown, strip the ends, tin them together and seal them off. You can also make the connection on a dedicated terminal.

It doesn't matter as long as 8ohm is in the middle, and you know which is which. If you have a panel made with the numbers written, then you need to match that.
