Will this isolation transformer limit power draw?

I have a Bryston 2B amp, and I know it doesn't require more than about 300 Watts in stereo mode into an 8 ohm load, but I don't know how much power it draws in amperage.

I want to use a Stancor isolation transformer in front of it, which is rated for 500 watts and 4.3 amps. Is that high enough to avoid limiting the current on this amp?

Please help me out!

One Audiogon member that comes to mind that would have an answer is Sean. I'm sure there are others out there...

Eldartford,
An isolation transformer would be used to clean the grunge from the AC power and improve the sound of ones equipment. A good isolation transformer purchased on the used market such as a Xentek or Topaz, 5 KVA isolation transformer would most likely do a better job than most or all of the other modern products on the market, at least that’s what my testing has indicated. I use other products in conjunction with isolation transformers prior to the AC reaching my equipment.

Eldartford,

I trust my ears and know what I hear. Another member would have to answer your technical questions, I’m not capable of answering or debating the issue.

Best regards…
