The Hammond 240MG1800 is a 1800VA medical grade plug-in line isolation transformer for straight isolation, 240 VAC to 240 VAC, rated 50/60 Hz. It is intended for non-patient connected indoor applications where sensitive electronics need protection, such as high end audio and studio use, medical electronics, and high end test equipment or laboratories. It is not intended to supply power to life support appliances.
Each unit provides complete line isolation and noise filtering and uses a Faraday shield to keep leakage current under 100 microamps, below UL60601-1 requirements. The floating AC output reduces noise coupling. The 240MG1800 is the 1800VA 240V model, drawing 7.81 A and delivering 7.50 A at 240 VAC with 96% minimum full load efficiency. It uses a shorter 3 ft cord and provides three duplex receptacles. Its wiring diagram shows a double-pole switch/circuit breaker, a 90°C TCO, 0.47µF and 10 µF 300V capacitors, and a shield tied to the chassis ground stud.
Construction is a vented 14 gauge steel housing in white powder paint, with carrying handles, venting louvers and an external grounding stud with wingnut. Input is a hospital grade 3-wire grounded NEMA 6-15P plug on a 14/3 SJTW / 3 ft. cord, and the output is 3 hospital grade Duplex 6-15R receptacles with North American pins. Protection comes from an on-off switch / circuit breaker combo plus a built in automatic thermal cut out.
The 240MG1800 is cULus listed to UL 60601-1 (1st Edition) and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90 (R2005), and is RoHS and REACH compliant. Every unit is 100% tested and inspected before packing. Input voltage tolerance is +/- 10%, and the shipping weight is 62 lbs (28.12 kg).
Ideal For
- High end audio / studio use on 240V circuits
- Medical electronics in non-patient connected indoor use
- High end test equipment and laboratory power at 240V
- Low-leakage isolated 240V supply for sensitive electronics

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the 240MG1800 be used with patient-connected medical equipment?▾
No. The MG Series is intended for non-patient connected indoor applications that protect sensitive electronics, and it is not intended to supply power to life support appliances.
What is the leakage current of the 240MG1800?▾
Leakage current is under 100 uA. A Faraday shield reduces leakage currents below UL60601-1 requirements.
What plug and outlets does the 240MG1800 have?▾
It has a hospital grade NEMA 6-15P input plug on a 14/3 SJTW / 3 ft. cord and 3 hospital grade Duplex 6-15R receptacles. The user guide states units must be connected to comparable hospital grade plugs and receptacles to maintain grounding.
What are the input and output ratings?▾
Input is 240 VAC at 7.81 A; output is 240 VAC at 7.50 A; 1800VA at 50/60 Hz with 96% (min) full load efficiency.
What happens if it overloads or overheats?▾
If the breaker trips, unplug all loads, cycle the on/off switch to reset it and re-evaluate the total load. If the unit overheats, the built in thermal cut out removes power to the receptacles; unplug it and let it cool before restoring power.
What operating conditions does it need?▾
Indoor, dry locations only, operating between -15 and 55°C (5 to 131°F) and no more than 95% RH non-condensing, placed upright on its rubber feet with its ventilation unobstructed.
