Hi
I'm trying to design a circuit to be hooked upto mains ac, and it was recommended that I should use an isolation transformer for safety purposes. 1) what purpose does this server, I know that it allows power to pass without the circuits being joined, but what affect does that have/why is it considered a safety feature. 2) what is the current draw on the input side, is it found by ohms law and using the impedance of the primary inductor (V/impedance=current) or how else?
