Rich — no direct experience with the Philmore, but at that price point, I really doubt that it’s isolating. I couldn’t find any data sheet from their website beyond just a catalog page.
How about a Charles ISO transformer like the model 93-IXFMR 3/8I-A: http://www.marinedeal.com/product_p/s93-ixfmr3-8i-a.htm It’s a true marine-grade iso transformer, with taps for 120 and 240. Probably a lot safer than something not designed for the marine environment; and it’ll take enough load for the entire vessel’s 30A service, which the Philmore will not do. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( On Jan 18, 2014, at 1:56 PM, Rich Knowles <r...@sailpower.ca> wrote: > Has anyone any experience with a Philmore ST3000 Step up/down transformer?
