Its not a transformer, it is a autoformer. Dont use it for hifi, just for your refrigerator.
It offer no protection since it let pass all the tension in/out, it connect your equip to the nearest HV station transformer.

I would never use any transformer at all IMO.

Actually the Signal DU and SU transformers can be configured, wired, as an isolation transformer or as an autotransformer

You can not do it, 60V + 60V are not 120V.
Electricity is not added as oranges (2+2=4)
There is a vectored formula (about 173 if I remember well) to join two different phases.
There is a loss of about 13% in the biphasic that is your case.

 Two single phase secondary windings configured, wired, as a split phase secondary winding.

I surprised if this combo works as stated, it show zero loss.

What do you mean by zero loss?

All power transformers have some loss, that's why they get warm. Poorly designed one get hot.
That page has a lot of unneeded math.

There is some copper loss(at winding) and some iron loss(at core).
