Isolators are devices utilized for isolating specific sections or components of an electrical circuit to prevent the flow of direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). They are also commonly called electrical isolators, isolation switches, or disconnection switches. There are various synonyms for the term isolators, including isolating switches, isolation transformers, safety switches, circuit breakers, and disconnect switches. These synonyms are used interchangeably to describe the protective functions of isolators in different electrical applications. Isolators are critical components in many electrical systems, and they help protect equipment, personnel, and the environment against electrical hazards.
