Hi guys,
in my NTSC 3DO FZ-1 there are 3 cables connecting the transformator
with the PCB - 2 of them are supplying stepped down AC with approx.
15 Volts.
What is the single 3rd one for?
In my PAL machine, this 3rd cable is totally missing!

Transformator cables FZ-1
I've found this video on youtube in which someone switches the
PCB of a PAL machine with a NTSC PCB, using the same (PAL) transformator.
He also mentions that on the NTSC PCB there is a third plug somehow for transformators. But the board seems to work fine as well without
any connection!

Any ideas what this 3rd cable is for?

This is just a guess, but may be correct
I assume the two cables are neutral and live, and the 3rd one on the NTSC may be ground.
Although the 3do plug for the wall does not have the ground post, so I could be off.
But thats my guess, one wire is your live, one is your neutral, and the 3rd is ground. Perhaps in N. America the ground is required, where in Europe it isn't?
