>The transformer sounds too simple to be true (or?). The leakage would = easily be >under control, and, should the in/output circuitry accept it, = the ground wire not >necessary (I doubt that "just" the transformer = would be sufficinet for this).=20 just make sure the transformer meets medical isolation requirements = otherwise you will "smoke" your patient with ground leakage = currents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a one really serious reason why medical electronic equipment is = so expensive. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
