Scotty: You guys are killing me with stuff that can be found in the archives. The more times that i have to repeat myself, the less time i have to help in other areas : )
The two brands that i've had the best luck with were Xentek and Topaz. That does not mean that everything that Xentek and Topaz makes will be suitable for what you want. We are primarily interested in the ultra-isolation types although their standard iso's are still FAR superior to a toroidal design. Just make sure that the max load used by all of the equipment doesn't exceed 60% of the rating of the transformer. Using heavy enough gauge wire in and out of the Iso is also important.
Bare in mind that some transformers of equivalent KVA rating and isolation figures can have different size cores. If both transformers are identical in terms of electrical spec's and power ratings, go with the one that has the largest core. Sean
