On a power electronics test bench it is often more practical to
isolate the test equipment than the source or the load.

RL


but dangerous.
anything or person that contacts the case of the "isolated" scope could be
harmed,the scope's line transformer may not be insulated for the voltage
across it,and there's also capacitive coupling across the xfmr.

much better to use isolated probes.
