Can anyone recommend a good isolation transformer for sale on-line?

** What kind ??

There are two:

1. Galvanic isolation - for use on a service bench.


Galvanic. Thanks - didn't realize there are different kinds. Don't want
to kill myself!


It certainly seems to me stupid to have the same name for different
devices like this. What is the point of an isolating transformer which
doesn't isolate?


Noise reduction.
