Btw I'm aware that a lot of caution still needs to be exercised here.  It's now like "oh look an isolation transformer I can do any stupid thing I want and it will be ok"  :loco

I'm guessing that if one were to grab each end of the secondary it would not end well.   :grr

Also there is a third prong that looks to be continuous  xP

Honestly this will be probably gathering dust for a while.

As a rule ATM pretty much what I do think and have learned is at least have some type of transformer like a step down between me and mains  :tu:

If you remember my Voltron Wattmeter I guess it was nothing more than a transformer with a meter.

Btw more caution while looking at various devices on eBay it seems there are autotransformers that aren't round and look like "normal" rectangular transformers.

 :'(

But anyway wow I love how this has some nice cords on each end so I don't have complete chaos with a thousand wires going everywhere  :grr

It looks very well made and those have many uses.
