Do not forget that you will pay for energizing the coils of the transformer and it can cost more when your equipment is off than on. I tried this and it was not cost effective IMO, 4 amp input draw at static with no output load. I put it on the back burner for now till I can figure out how to put it on a starter without tripping the breaker 20% of the time. Fuses may work I just have not the time to try it yet.
Using a shore power isolation transformer at home?
Can a shore 1:1 power isolation transformer, rated 120V/60Hz and sufficiently powerful, be used in order to make a (dedicated) AC line at home cleaner (reducing neighbor's noises)?
Is there anything special I shall take into account (as opposed to installing a "home-oriented" isolation transformer)?
If I do not want the output to be balanced (would be pointless or even harmful, as I have a servo-operated variac between the receptacle and my tube amp), what is the recommended way to earth the isolation transformer?
Thanks!
