Hi,

I've got an old tripplite power conditioner box and while it may be an
isolation transformer of some sort, I am not exactly sure what it is so I am
going to rewire it so I know for sure. I have a isolation transformer or I
could possibly use the transfer in the conditioner box.

My question is:

What do you do with the ground? The primary ground comes in and is
connected to the chassis.

The secondary winding will become the outlet's hot and neutral.

What about the outlet's ground?

If you leave it open, it isn't a ground.

If you connect it to the line ground, then it is a ground, but really will
it function as one considering that the hot/neutral are isolated (if there
is a fault)?

If you connect it to the line ground and also connect it to the secondary
windings neutral (bonding the secondary winding neutral to line ground),
then is it truly isolated?

What do commercial units do?

I'm planning on using this for hobbiest type use...

Thanks,

Alan
