Isolation Transformer

Re: Isolation Transformer

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.

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

Re: Isolation Transformer

we use 120VAC here.

Re: Isolation Transformer

dont you have 230v at your panel like americans?

Re: Isolation Transformer

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

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

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.

Re: Isolation Transformer

sellers description is crystal clear.
makes a nice change!

Re: Isolation Transformer

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

Re: Isolation Transformer

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.

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

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:

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

Yes. It is big and very heavy. The listing link is below.

Re: Isolation Transformer

Hi Bud,
The transformer I was referring to was from the one in the above link.

If you look at the spec sheet I provided, the GIS-1000 is the Isolation transformer.
The description saying it is Autotransformer is wrong on that web page.

Re: Isolation Transformer

Hey guys. Below is a link to the isolation transformer that I got on eBay.

Re: Isolation Transformer

just an idea, but if you only need to use the scope for a few min's - why not use a UPS and pull the input before you do the testing?

[dick_barton]

Re: Isolation Transformer

It's a step-up auto-transformer which has both the inputs and output on the same winding.
115V ac in for 230V ac out and the earth is connected straight though.

It is not an isolation transformer so is not suitable or safe for what you want to do.
