That is a transformer, probably from a power supply for something (wall wart or similar, or maybe mounted inside a case.If you measure between the two yellow wires you'd expect to get anything from about 5 to about 25 volts AC when the plug is plugged into the wall. Be careful when you do this in case there is a fault on it..The other wire may be a centre-tap of the main winding or it may be an earth (ground) wire, attached to the transformer ironwork.
