Does an isolation transformer improve a power cable?


In a post dated 12/14, I described how I built my DIY AC power cables. In evaluating these new cables over the first 100 hours, I am hearing parts in music I did not know where there--instruments are standing out in sharp relief with a more robust dynamic and improved clarity. All of this is coming through via Furutech's Ohno Continuous Cast copper, a brand I am not here to promote--rather, it is the one I chose to obtain a legitimate OCC material. These cables are feeding two ARC Reference 210's, modifed to 250's. But, what appears to make as important a contribution is what is feeding the AC cables their current--a large 240V/120V isolation transformer weighing 120 pounds and supplying 4000 watts of work to all of my devices via six outlets on the back. What I am understanding is that this thing provides a more ideal supply of current that is independent of the rest of the house and its appliances and devices. With all that is said about power cables and what they can and cannot do, depending on one's beliefs about alternating current, i.e., what is upstream, how could it matter, what about the rest of the grid, the last six feet is important, etc, I suspect that, in using a true induction transformer in this manner, the last six feet is the only six feet in my power supply, and this is why these OCC cables sound so stunningly good. Is this the purest AC energy pathway possible?

Jea,

Weird because this is what you stated?
An isolation transformer creates a new separately derived AC power system that is independent from the mains power of your home's AC power system.

Maybe I misread it....

Again,

Just to be a bit of naysayer/ clarifier the transformer does not "create" electricity as I have stated before.

Exactly where in the sentence do I say an isolation transformer "creates" electricity? It does not….
Post in question.

Are you saying an isolation transformer does not "create" a "separately derived system" as defined by the NEC Code Definition? Is your hang up the word “create”? When an isolation transformer is connected to a grounded power system because the secondary is not electrically connected to the primary, the secondary output will be floating above ground. The secondary is isolated from the power source that feeds the primary in so far as there is not a reference, difference of potential, voltage, from its' output to the power source that feeds its' primary until one lead, leg, of the secondary winding is intentionally connected, bonded, to ground. (Ground being the main grounding system of the premises' electrical service.) This leg becomes the “The Grounded Conductor”, the neutral. A new grounded power system is created.

Here is a snippet from a book written by Henry Ott.
“3.1.6 Separately Derived Systems.” Do you find fault with what Ott said?

Jafreeman,

Thanks for the clarification on the grounding of the Richard Gray RM PRO Unit.

The RM PRO is more than just an isolation transformer.

Here is a white paper from EXACTPOWER. (PDF). You may find it interesting reading.

Jim, thanks for that in-depth manual from Exact Power. This should be enough info for anyone who wants to improve power to a system. I'm still not sure where this leaves us on the question of a separately derived power source or an isolated ground. I know the primary winding is grounded to my house via the supplied cord--not sure what the secondary winding can claim when there is an iron core to aid in the induction of the stepped down voltage made available at the six outlets on the back. I can only say that, having gone up the chain from several 400s, to the Substation to the RM PRO, improvements have been dramatic. The 400s are meant for front-end pieces only, not amps. The 1200 is the best item for an entire front end. There is a guy who occasionally runs an ad for a new 1200, sells them for around $950, sez he can't give the warranty, but guarantees it will work. He's the real deal--I have two from him--guy named William Loni.
