What is another word for insulator?
Pronunciation: [ˈɪnsuːlˌe͡ɪtə] (IPA) 
Insulator refers to a material that prevents or minimises the flow of electrical or heat energy. Some synonyms for insulator include dielectric, isolator, non-conductor, non-metallic, and thermal insulator. Dielectric materials are a type of insulator that can store electrical energy. Isolators are designed to separate conductive materials to prevent the flow of electrical energy between them. Non-conductors or non-metallic materials, such as wood, glass, and rubber, are commonly used as insulators. Thermal insulators, on the other hand, reduce heat loss or gain, and materials like foam, wool, and fiberglass are used for this purpose. Overall, insulators are widely used in various industries, particularly in electrical engineering and construction.
