Hi,
This is my first post here on the forum but I've been reading threads for mostly two years and I've decided to start this new thread because i couldn't find a post dedicated to this subject.
Recently i received an old Goldstar OS-7020A Oscilloscope, it has 2 Channels but channel no.1 doesn't work (the trace doesn't show up). Yes, i will start a new thread for help but first i want to make sure i wont get killed by my own mistake while repairing this oscilloscope.
To begin, lets say i have a Fluke 87V and a Owon HDS1021M (two floating test equipements) for my repair.
I've red and seen many post about isolation transformer and all those safety issue that i have to be aware but i think it doesnt apply to me because i basically have a battery oscilloscope. I then decided to buy one : the Tripp Lite IS250 Isolation Transformer 250W. I plan to mod it so it become a technician Isolation transformer.
I would like to know the safety rules to apply when i use a battery oscilloscope and when i use a mains earth oscilloscope.
Thanks for helping me here
And sorry for my bad english, i write mostly in french than in english
