Bill is correct; the isolation transformer by itself will pass a waveform similar to what goes into it. The transformer by itself is not a line filter; cleaning noise, etc., from the AC line requires filtering.DC is not a concern on AC power lines, largely because the power is distributed as AC through transformers, but also because no utility company that I know of puts batteries on their power lines.
Also, an isolation transformer does not necessarily correct ground loops.
