So I spend a lot of time diagnosing DC circuits and have been playing with AC circuits on and off most of my life and it sounds like I may have been on the lucky side at times. I have lately been reading about isolation transformers and the fact that we should be using them when we play with TV's, audio equipment etc so i would like to ask if someone could expand a little on these transformers and why we should use them. Also would like to know where the risk has been working on TV's and such with line voltage. I have taken 120 volt pokes along the way, but where is the real killer voltage that everyone speaks of. I would rather be here to ask the question so if you don't hear anymore from me, I guess I found my answer
I also read oscilloscopes should not be plugged into an isolation transformer. Can someone expand on this as well.
This would be a good lesson.
If all else fails, point me in the direction of a good website or book and I'm just as good with that.
