Are we talking auto/isolation-transformers here?

I was reading a sailing magazine that mentioned using an autotransformer
in the context of isolation. I felt impelled to write and point out that
because an autotransformer has part of the winding shared between
primary and secondary, isolation is one thing it definitely does not do!

Ah yes, thanks (didn't even need to look at the link but did g)
just dragging stuff up from the past in my mind. ;-)

p.s. Do you sail and if so what OOI? Dinghy sailor and son of a Shell
Tanker Capt here. ;-)

2020 is the first year since 1974 that I have not been able to go on a
sailing holiday somewhere warm in the Summer! But it is decades since I
owned a sailing dinghy and have never owned any other boat. You
certainly know about the extremes! "OOI"?
