Default Isolation transformer in place of a GFCI
In article ,
says...

If you grabbed each side of the secondary you would receive a
100/115/120/220/240VAC shock (depending on where you live on Earth). If
somehow one side of the secondary connected to earth ground then you
would back to the same risk of electrical shock. Your decision to run
GFCI is correct IMHO.

I would prefer "either" rather than "each". Certainly not "both"! We
have road signs saying "Use both lanes" which appear to encourage
straddling. Presumably the public are supposed not to understand
"either"...

Mike.
