I'm thinking about methods to test a non-isolated homebrew 130W
offline smps.
I need to detect RF bursts "birdies", ringing, spikes and overshoots.
An earth grounded scope will blow a fuse.

It will not if you use an isolation transformer!

Otherwise you are stuck with differential measurements, which suck because you
use two channels on the scope for each trace.


I only have a single channel scope.

The challenge is making measurements and test techniques without a
isolation transformer nor an isolated scope to detect RF bursts
"birdies", ringing, spikes and overshoots.

I suspect it's a little bit like making radio tuner/demodulator ccts
and measuring a DC out with a DMM.
