I have a few questions on isolation transformers. I have been looking into different models for my lab. Some have ground leads for both primary and secondary while others only have leads for the hot and neutral.
I have read that isolation transformers can help remove ground loop current problems as well as reduce shock hazards, but I don't understand how. Can anyone explain to me how they work, especially what happens with the grounds of the primary and secondary.
