Isolation transformers

[skipjack820]

if the output from the isolation transformer is 110 volts, won't you still get a shock since the voltage is still high?

@skipjack820 You can still get shocked even though your using an isolation transformer, but not between earth ground and the device your working on. Normally If I'm standing on the grass with no shoes on it could be deadly for me to touch one of the wires going to my 110 volt AC outlet, but if I'm using an isolation transformer nothing would happen because the AC wires to my AC outlet are isolated from earth ground. I need to make a better video on this.

Now i am clear about this Isolating transformer.Thanks a lot.

How about doing a video tutorial on this?

Thank you!

Hello,

whats a good way to" test" an "isolation transformer" to make sure I'm safe?

Thank you!

@HEADBANGRR You should be able to do an ohms test between the primary and secondary. There should not be any conduction between the two.

What is your criteria for choosing an isolation transformer to be used when repairing tvs? Thanks.

[GrantsPassTVRepairs]

@hoopfan71 The only criteria I would be concerned about is the power capacity of my transformer. For TV repair I would think  a 1000 watt or 9 amp capacity should be fine.

@iorixs

It sounds as though perhaps your drill is using more power than your isolation transformer can deliver. How much power does your drill require?

Thanks. This really helps. I hope there were lot more ppl like you out there.

Thanks for this video!! I would like to learn more on this subject and safety concerns when working on electronic devices such as amplifiers etc.
