I've Googled but not found anything.

Christmas lights: 240v - 4v 1VA with a spade and pin plug.


I like the way it says its a "safety isolating transformer" and
then tells you pin 1 is connected to the coil end. This implies
an autotransformer with a single coil and that is *not* an
isolating transformer. When are you taking it apart to see
what's actually inside?

complete nonsense


So what do you think it means?


It doesn't say what it means. I don't have mind reading powers.
However the conclusion that it means the transformer is unisolated is
simply nonsense.




Just as well I didn't say it wasn't isolated then.

However your assumption that it is is based on what it says even though
it contradicts itself.

That makes your assumption nonsense not mine.
