Hooking up two Topaz Isolation trans. in series?


If I hook two topaz 1kva iso ultra transformers in series will I double the current capacity? I already have one 1kva topaz and am looking at another. Two of these at 16 amps would be enough for everything in my audio rack.
If I am correct then would I need to rewire the plugs in one transformer or just plug one into the other? Would it be series or parallel stock? Any help? I have a ground hum issue in my house. Its killing my music listening experience.
I have taken my tube amp and pre amp to a shop and conferred that there is no hum at that location.
Any help is appreciated. Rod

KVA rating is the peak voltage x peak amp x 1000 rating for the transformer or the peak wattage rating. RMS (root mean square)is wattage rating which is 0.707 of peak voltage. All engineers will size for actual plus fudge factor. Normal fudge factor is 40% above max expected for safety/performance margin. Large margin increases cost and may not protect against certain failures of down stream units.

To get more iso watts add more transformers and move loads to each separate transformer. The sum of the transformers will add watts without connecting secondaries and offer superior performance and safety. Loads will be isolated from line issues as well as each other.
