Default Isolation transformer draws excessive current under no load condition

I'd say your transformer is bad or somehow connected wrong.


** No way.

The OP's data shows it is operating normally and correctly.

10 degrees temp rise and a PF of 0.15 is A-OK.


Why doesn't the transformer data sheet include idle current, power
factor, etc.?


** Why should it ?

They are easily measured parameters and of little interest to most users.

If the safety ratings, VA rating, temp rise, dimensions, weight and mounting
details are all described - that is enough.
