What Size Isolation Transformer Do I Need?

[Dave Tilotta]

I'd like to buy a good isolation transformer for my shop. I'm thinking I need a few amps at 120V for a "typical" television, but I was wondering if you all had any recommendations as to size and brand.

Thanks!

My CTC 16 is rated at 520W, so that would necessitate a 550VA isolation transformer, or one rated at least 5A - some are rated by amperage, others by VA.

I'd go with at least a 5A, step up if you can, to the limit of your budget.
