Re: [TCML] Isolating Transformer

[BrianB <brianb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

When we do professional gigs we try and always use an isolation transformer and when we can we configure it as a 2:1 step down transformer (ie 480vac to 240vac). 

2a isn't much power. That's only 480w. I wouldn't be too concerned at this power level but better safe than sorry.
