Need help regarding isolator wiring configuration.
@ vze2r8xz Because of the 6-20P power inlet my guess is the primary input voltage is 220V or 240V.Secondary output voltage is 115V or 120V.Connecting the primary to 120V will only give you around 60V on the output.Make sure you check the output vo...

Need help regarding isolator wiring configuration.
Assuming the OP is correct, the transformer primary winding is fed by 240V. We don’t know if the primary is designed as a dual voltage 120/240V. (Two windings) The unit’s input is a 6-20r input plug which needs to be replaced with a 20 amp iec inl... 
Need help regarding isolator wiring configuration.
I couldn’t get any of your links to work.As for the 6-20R. The number 6 signifies 250 volt. Next number is ampere rating, 20 amps.    R = Receptacle.I think you might mean 6-20P, inlet plug.Example: https://www.westwayelectricsupply.com/wiring-dev...

Ground Loop(?) leads to blow speaker
Al,Thanks for the better picture of the meter. I wondered why the OP was measuring DC current. https://data.kleintools.com/sites/all/product_assets/hires/klein/mm300_photo.jpg gs5556 theory makes sense to me. I just thought the DC voltage at the o...

CD players sold in Japan can work in US with no problem?
As a rule the mains voltage should not be greater than 10% of the manufacturer’s rated voltage. The extra fudge factor is for AC mains voltage that may be higher than the equipment’s rated input voltage, overvoltage events, and or a serge voltage ...
