   This may sound naïve, but I was under the impression that the term
"isolation transformer" simply meant a 1:1 transformer: a transformer
whose input voltage was the same as its output voltage.

   IIRC, the purpose of an isolation transformer is to *physically*
isolate the equipment from the power line, which all transformers do,
anyway: they work by inductance. So by using *any* transformer, you
would already get physical isolation...?

   Thoughts?

   Peace!
