Isolation Transformer

Re: Isolation Transformer

Are you sure you received the GIS-1000 as shown in the web site and matched the PDF spec I provided? 1000VA is a BIG transformer.
Show us the EBAY seller web page and the picture of the unit you bought.
I see some on EBAY:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stancor-GIS-...oAAOSwd2xXP~t-

It is the same transformer, same as in the link you provided.

Re: Isolation Transformer

That link http://www.ebay.ca/itm/222226718872#ht_166wt_1319 shows a picture of a 220 volt to 110 volt step down transformer. which is what you got
I suspect it is a GISD-1000
So if you connect it to a 220 volt outlet you will get your isolated 110 volts

The eBay seller lied in his listing as it says its an isolation transformer. Opened a return request since its useless to me.

Re: Isolation Transformer

The ebay picture above may well be an Isolation transformer but the spec says:

Input 230V 50/60 HZ
Output 115V 1000VA 8.7A

To check if it is an isolation transformer measure resistance between the input and output terminals which should be open circuit between Live In /Live Out, Neutral In / Neutral Out.

GISD-1000 IS isolation and also a step-down transformer as shown in his description and also in the spec. sheet.

'Stancor GISD-1000 Isolation Transformer Used.

Plugged in and works.

Mounting brackets are slightly bent (see pics). Device shows some wear and tear.

Input 230V 50/60 HZ
Output 115V 1000VA 8.7A

Sold as is no returns'

See attached spec sheet for GISD-1000.
You should have bought GIS-1000

Re: Isolation Transformer

+1 Agree with Budm and it looks like non returns.

Re: Isolation Transformer

sellers description is crystal clear.
makes a nice change!

Re: Isolation Transformer

I did a resistance check and there is no continuity between the input and output so it is indeed isolated. Problem is I am only getting 60VAC since it is a step down. Is there a way to modify or some way i can still get it to output 120VAC.

Fuck sakes wasted over $120 on this useless piece of shit, just a big fucking paperweight. I may try and sell it on ebay to recoup.

Re: Isolation Transformer

dont you have 230v at your panel like americans?

[tech2014]

Re: Isolation Transformer

we use 120VAC here.

Re: Isolation Transformer

not exactly my question,
in the u.s. the main fusebox is fed with 120-0-120
so you can use both phases to get 240v for big stuff like tumble-dryers

oh ok I get you now. I will have to check my fusebox,

If you plug it into the dryer or oven outlet, you'll get 240v.
