I want to get an isolation transformer, in my mind this eliminates the need to ground connected appliances and or if they are grounded (as in their plug has a ground pin), there's no path to ground if I accidentally touch something I shouldnt.
Is it enough to just get a large 1:1 transformer - more or less?
I looked at isolation transformer products, on Amazon, I found one that - oddly - seems to not be isolated! it seems one must open it and do a hack to make it fully isolated, why on earth would they call it an isolation transformer if it doesn't isolate?
e.g., one buyers remarks:
The main motivation is safety and I will be working on some very old tube radios soon, metal chassis and all that stuff.
