For testing, I sometimes use old laptop/TV powerpack/charger modules.
They are mostly quite well isolated, but one has to check to be certain.
Just be careful with cell phone chargers as they more commonly lack full isolation.

Sometimes they are big and ugly, but allow testing and further refining to continue until you can get the proper module.
Yes Mark,

I plan to find a 5v supply and I have a 15v industrial supply kicking around. Now that I think of it, I have a 5 v one as well. I will probably use these for the tests.
