This question does pertain to isolation transformers and to an aspect mentioned in this thread but not
discussed.....so I was not sure if you wanted me to post this question here or elsewhere.
My question:
Why is there a time delay on actuating the power to the primary of the isolation transformer? Why would
anyone have such a delay on the secondary?
My isolation transformer was originally a hospital isolation transformer. I want to build circuits but have
been afraid to use my new expensive (relatively) scope from my ignorance and mistakes. Hence I bought
this nice used hospital isolation transformer and altered it to protect my new scope.
i removed the PRIMARY ground connection to the secondary and the ground to the SECONDARY outlet ground pin
AND i removed the ground pin clamp as the ground assembly was part of the assembly which held the outlet to the
chassis of the isolation transformer (I had retained the ground to the chassis of the isolation transformer).
I apologize for adding all this miscellaneous info. I just wondered if my new use could take advantage of the
delay timer.
Thank you folks for taking your valuable time to help others (like myself).
Respectfully,
