Joe- I think you have got most of the points right. But there is common mode supression (hot and neutral against safety ground) offered by the transformer, assuming that the capacitive coupling between the primary and secondary is minimal. Note that this "common mode" signal is in fact differe

The transformer generates what the code call a "separately derived system." Typically such circuits are grounded (earthed). For US requirements see the National Electrical Code articles 250.21 and 250.22. The isolation transformer reduces common mode (supply vs ground) noise. That is its primary pu

Joe, Most "isolation" transformers have a non-magnetic, metal shield between the primary and secondary. The shield does not appreciably degrade the transformer's magnetic coupling at 60Hz; however, it does attenuate the high frequency differential noise passed from primary to secondary. Th
