[sudo-discuss] 120V isolation transformer?

[Jake]

does sudoroom have an isolation transformer?  it's something that plugs 
into a regular outlet and outputs the same voltage, but it's isolating.

we have a couple of universal AC converter boxes which provide 240VAC when 
you plug them into 120VAC but they are "autotransformers" and they don't 
isolate.

I want us to have an isolating transformer so that when people experiment 
with AC-powered devices, they are much less likely to suffer a lethal 
shock and die.

note:  some voltage-regulator transformers are isolating, but since they 
distort the waveform in order to achieve the voltage stabilizing, they are 
not ideal for our purposes.

thank you,
