Review on πŸ”Œ Tripp Lite IS250 Isolation Transformer Surge Protector - 250W, 120V, 2 Outlet, 6ft Cord TAA GSA by Brian Weese

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is an "Isolation Transformer Voltage Regulator ", NOT an Isolation Transformer!

So who gets a star? No product; it's probably good if used for its intended purpose. Revain receives 1 star for listing as an isolation transformer. The manufacturer refers to this product as an "isolating transformer power supply". The outputs are NOT floating and cannot be used to isolate test equipment as is. (Other reviewers point out that it can be converted into an isolation transformer by changing its internal wiring. This will void your warranty.) The manufacturer's description is correct, it's a voltage regulator, not an isolation transformer, as it connects one pole of the output. earth transformer. This point becomes "Neutral" and the other output "Hot". They are anchored to the bottom and do not float. Unfortunately, Revain's product description is so misleading.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Weight
