You can also use a dim bulb tester. It wont isolate, but it will act as a fuse if something is shorted. Plenty of info out there about how to make one. You just stick a light bulb, like a 40 or 60W in series with your cord to your transformer. Cheap and effective. You probably have the stuff in your garage to make it.
