If using a proper isolating transformer, there will be no

Not true. You connect the chassis of the UUT to the test
equipment, so ANY voltage you contact inside the UUT is referenced
to ground.

Why is the test equipment grounded?


Yawn... Why are people stupid?

Yawn. You really do need to sort out how to work in a safe environment.
All it needs is some common sense. Do you ground one side of a battery DVM
too?

Dang, you confirm stupidity... Amazing! Any test equipment DESIGNED to
not be grounded isn't grounded. And test equipement that is designed
to be grounded damned well better be grounded.
