You will feel nothing unless your isolation transformer is defective with an
internal short.

How is that different from any piece of equipment with a power supply in it
that has a regular transformer?

I bet if I plug in my isolation xformer and touch one end of the secondary
with one hand and touch a water pipe with the other, I'll feel something.
Don't know for sure but I'll try it.
