I am just tidying out my garage and have rediscovered 3 isolating transformers. Rs and Cetronic

They seem to be rated at 500VA. Do these have any value to the Hi Fi fraternity or indeed anyone else?

Depends exactly what they are Chris.
Firstly are they truly isolating transformers or are they step down autotransformers for 110V equipment?

Secondly if they are isolating transformers what is the output voltage? Again they could be for 110V equipment.

All are 240 volt output. I think at some point in their early lives they were used in laboratories for sensitive instruments.
