AC transformers aren't polarised, they are the opposite in fact. Just as long as you stick the live and neutral leads on the mains side of the transformer (it doesn't matter how) and don't touch the thing when its running, you'll probably be fine.

Well, they CAN kill you dead, I just havn't found out how dead (a MOT bit me once, my hand was totally useless for more than 10 minutes).
