Isolating transformer

Ben22:

I’m looking to create a training board for apprentices and trying to come up with a way to allow energisation but keeping any faults created separate from the installation, 


im thinking of using an isolating transformer. Unless anyone can suggest another method? 

surely the object of the exercise is for them to find and rectify any and all faults before anyone gets near to energising - ie dead testing and fault finding with instruments and the Mark I eyeball are a key part of the skill set being taught.


I'm pretty sure you aren't actually advocating "bang" testing via a safety source
