Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A method of operating an isolation transformer boost system including a power supply and an isolation transformer, wherein the isolation transformer includes a primary winding electrically connected to the power supply, a secondary winding, a first voltage tap, and a second voltage tap, the method comprising:
measure, via a sensor, an electrical characteristic of the power supply;
determine, via an electronic processor, when the electrical characteristic exceeds an upper limit threshold for a predetermined period of time;
in response to determining the electrical characteristic has exceeded the upper limit threshold for the predetermined period of time, output, via the electronic processor, a command to the isolation transformer; and
in response to receiving the command, disconnect a connection from the second voltage tap and establish a second connection from the first voltage tap;
operating in a static mode, wherein when in the static mode the isolation transformer boost system is configured to activate an electrical characteristic boost when the system is initially powered by a shore power supply.
