I consider myself to be fairly knowledgable about general electronics, but I had never heard of an isolation transformer until recently.
I bought a used cabinet and monitor, and the seller said the monitor's power supply wasn't working. I've decided that it may need a new transformer.
Can I just take the 120 VAC from the wall into one winding and have 120 VAC coming out to the monitor through the other winding? What do I do with the grounding wire? Do I need any fuses or capacitors?
The monitor is an Electrohome G07.
Thanks
Joe
