I know nothing about this particular device but the resistance
of a primary winding designed for 230 V should be about twice
that of one designed for 115 V.

By the way, why do you have three wires ? I would expect two
wires for the primary. If there are three wires, it must be a
centre-tap primary and there would be a voltage selector next to
the inlet.

Unless one of the wires is the earth ?
