The isolation transformer should be used on the device under test, NOT the test equipment!
If you need an isolated scope to make a floating measurement, get a high voltage differential probe or a battery powered scope. Don't float it with an isolation transformer or break the earth ground connection. |

Ordinarily you wouldn't isolate a scope. But all it takes is a brain fart and you get a big surprise. To complicate matters, some isolation transformers have un-isolated convenience outlets on the front that are in my opinion a big no-no.

I have a Oneac 500VA isolation transformer (picked up at a warehouse my boss bought) around here I use for TVs an another Oneac 75VA (at surplus for cheap) around here for radios. Both have served me well for years.
