Ok; the problem with assumptions right? Anyway, I have a Variac. I assumed it was isolation simply due to its heavy weight which told me that there was a transformer present and I thought that an isolation transformer was a 1 to 1 ratio transformer used to simply isolate the user of equipment plugged into the unit from direct contact with line voltage/current.
Correct me on this one.
