In This thread, (as the title references) an AAC poster is asking about using an isolation transformer. Seeing as how I don't have a good answer for that question but rather a question of my own, and I don't want to hijack the thread, I'm posting this question, which may link back to the other thread:
In that other thread the thread starter asked about isolating an o-scope. Among the advice given is that the unit under test should be isolated rather than the scope. I'm wondering if I were to take an isolation transformer and isolating (not grounding) either the scope OR the UUT (Unit Under Test); would that be a reasonable approach to isolation? Neither the UUT or the scope would be grounded. Advice against? For? Neutral on the subject?
Or perhaps an isolation transformer for the UUT and another isolation transformer for the scope? I have several ferroresonant isolation transformers available for use. Again, advice?
