Default Re: Isolator Transformer Query

An isolating transformer removes you from the infinite busbar incoming mains.

The RCD will detect and trip a leakage current before you even notice.

It is like having a generator outside, it is much better to know what voltage is around, like an isolating transformer, and the RCD is a useful safety device, either 230V or 400V 3 phase.

The isolating transformer with neutral earthed means there is only one wire that has electrocution possibilities, and the RCD cancels that.
