PeakTech 2240 isolation transformer

Peter_O:
Maybe some more of you guys are looking for inside pics of this one.
I would have liked to see a few before buying, so here they are.

I needed an isolation transformer and I was not comfortable with buying a preloved one, because it might have been gone through some kind of core meltdown, undermining the security.
I like it to be stackable and with a detacheable power chord, not one of those curling stone style ones.

So I went for the Peaktech for 191 Euros.

It's a simple toroidal one without temperature control, a simple  melting fuse on the secondary side, and a sturdy power switch with LED control light, and that's it.
It's 500W, fuse is a fast 3.15A at 230V.

Point to criticise are all over the usual buying platforms.

Mine came without any damage or torn screws.
It's a simple but solid budget design. I'm happy so far.
Peter_O:
and one more
Gyro:
That looks nicely put together, with the secondary wiring nicely tethered away from the primary and plenty of cabinet grounding.

It would have been good to see a rear panel primary side protection anti surge fuse in addition to the fast blow secondary one. It would be a worthwhile retro-fit.
Peter_O:
True. Maybe I will fit primary and secondary automatic circuit breakers.
HKJ:
I wonder why the input of the transformer is rated 230V and output 240V.
It would have been more correct if the front was marked 500VA instead of 500W
