Unfortunately the thread is closed, but it got me discussing this with some colleagues:
If a single-family home were to use an isolation transformer - no neutral-ground bond on the load/secondary side - would capacitive coupling be an issue? Could GFCI breakers be used and provide good protection in the highly-unlikely chance one of the conductors became grounded and a second fault (or person shock path) occurred?
