I will be rebuilding my induction heater soon to be more efficient, however this time I want to use an isolating transformer to power this thing rather than a variac, since they technically dont isolate from mains. I've been looking all over the web for a transformer that is neither too expensive nor too bulky with an input of 115VAC and out put anywhere from 115VAC to 600VAC @ 1500-2000W. I know this is very dangerous electrical power I am asking for, but i would rather have this and NOT be forced to build a tranformer-less psu, as induction heaters tend to draw a lot of power really fast, making drawing from mains directly extremely dangerous.
So, is there anywhere online that you may know of where i can buy an isolating transformer (not a variac) that can output around the same as AC mains (1500-2000W) with the same or higher (up to 600V) voltage as the 115VAC mains? Is there a specific term i should be looking up for this type of transformer? I searched isolation transformer, but the only higher powered ones were 500W and very, very bulky. I simply want to isolate the mains, and if possible up the voltage, without lowering the output voltage and keeping the output power at 1500-2000W.
