>     please give an easy explanation or an "isolation transformer". 

    Strictly speaking, an isolation transformer has equal wiring (gauge,
    etc.) on both sides and is wound for a 1:1 ratio.  If you put 110
    volts in, you will get 110 volts out.  The isolation comes in that
    there is no physcial transfer of electricty from primary to
    secondary.  Rather, the electrical energy coming into the primary
    winding is converted to magnetic energy, and that magnetic energy is
    then converted back to electrical energy in the secondary winding. 

    [Not all transformers work this way because there is often an
    electrical connection (read wiring) that is common to one end of each
    coil.]
