ECN Forum Forums Technical Discussion Electrical Theory and Applications Floating Ground - device being tested or scope?

In my test there was wasn't a load on the secondary. I simple took readings with my DMM at the female cord end that is connected to the secondary.

Here's an exact image of the transformer I am using:



As you can see, the male end plugs into a standard 120 V outlet which feeds the primary. The female cord end comes off the secondary.

EDIT: Whoops - that looks like a 240 V male end. Okay, that isn't the exact same transformer. Swap out the 240 V for 120 V and everything else is identical.
