So I have always heard from every pro that you should use an isolation transformer to be safe when working on AC powered electronics. I understand what it does etc. Recently, I had someone tell me, save your money and just lift the ground bu using a wall plug adapter that converts the 3 prong to a 2 prong. I know it would work but I also know there is a reason no one does it that way. It would certainly be way cheaper and easier. Either way you are floating the earth ground yes? What is it that makes the isolation transformer safer? I know there must be a reason.
