The isolation transformer makes the gear safer for the technician. In the nonisolated set, one side of the power line connects to the active circuitry and, sometimes, also to the chassis. This is not a safe situation. The danger varies widely depending on the orientation of the plug to the power line; one way is asking for trouble, the other may be safer until you connect a second unit.
