Can anyone recommend a good isolation transformer for sale on-line?
Need one that will handle 5 amps or so at 120VAC, and have a standard AC
plug at the outlet. Prefer one for less than $100 or so, unless that seems
unreasonable. Found one at Mouser for $114 but that's only good for 1.25A.
Getting lots of irrelevant hits on google...

Thanks.



MCM Electronics has one. Chuck


Thanks Chuck. Looking at these for the moment:

The Tripp-Lite device has secondary attached to GROUND. This is NOT
want you want. All Tripp-Lite supplies are attached to ground forming a new neutral to
make a noise reduction device, period.

I hope the second device has ground isolation.
