    What do I with the (2) Black Red White jumpers that were included with the 300 watt transformer?

    Hello datcope,

    This jumper cable is included complimentary with our transformers in the event that a photocell or extension cable which does correspond with the photocell plug in the transformer is used (i.e. male plug to male plug, or prong-to-prong).

    The part is not always required for operation but, it is certainly handy to keep around for possible future purposes!

    Without actually seeing a diagram of that unit, I would suggest that the secondary is the two red wires. You would see about 15 volts ( open circuit). That is about normal to give you 12 volts under load. The white wire is the center tap, hence 1/2 the voltage from each red to the white.
