Discussion of AC mains isolation transformers

[Dominique-Tanguy]

Hi all,

 

i am close to order a Topaz from the USA (91001-11) for the input, it is mentionned 120/240 volts.

 

we normally have 230 volts in Germany, but I measure 215 volts in my house. I am currently using a Isolation transformer from which I get 227 volts at the output when I plug it in the 215 volts from the wall. Can I expect the same thing from the Topaz?

 

cheers,

Thank you for alerting me! I have not ordered yet but I was close to do it!

Dear all,

 

I am also using an isolation transformer and faced the same issue. My tester could not recognize phase from neutral anymore.

 

I have received 3 days ago the new ISO Regen, that I have installed in replacement of a Regen. I am using a Sbooster as power supply.

 

My first listening of the ISO Regen was a bit disappointing. I decided to wait for a while, considering a potential burn in issue... Until this post gave me the idea to reverse the connection of my Sbooster plug...

 

Significant difference now. I start to enjoy the ISO Regen.

 

Am I dreaming?

A question. Do you prefer ISO Regen with GI off or GI on? That's important for my personal conclution.

Hi,

 

I prefer with the switch on the "I" position.
