--- Quote from: Peter_O on July 18, 2022, 08:28:20 am ---I'd like to hear your opinion on buying 2nd hand isolation transformers.
What about security risks due to e.g. overcurrent use by the 1st owner?
Say, an idling transformer might measure fine but then fail when running with in spec high current, because of some inside isolation fault.
Just your opinion, no liable advice. I'll decide on my own, when and how to die. :-DD

I have a second-hand one, and I'm still around some 5 years after the purchase, go for it, you can always test the isolation for yourself.

“I really love this weather” … add them to the list.
“Want to go for a run today?” … add them to the list.
“Oh I prefer Morocco heat” … add them to the list.
“G’day” … add them to the list.

I've bought a Grundig RT5A some years ago which survived a drop from the shelf (previous owner).
Needed to replace the instrument for the Voltage (the upper one) but since then it worked fine for me.
