BTW, I got my 7.5 KW isolation transformer from Groban Supply at a fraction
of the cost quoted by local electrical supply houses. It is in a
drip-proof painted steel box and has worked perfectly for decades.
It even has a multi-tapped winding so I could make some adjustments to
compensate for low or high voltage.
