receiver chassis normally have 85V AC (RMS) between
chassis and earth ground regardless of the AC plug
polarity. These chassis can be safely serviced only with
an isolation transformer inserted in the power line
between the receiver and the AC power source, for both
personnel and test equipment protection. c. Some TV

ground system is not isolated from the AC power line.
The two ground systems are electrically separated by
insulating material that must not be defeated or altered.
