AN RF Isolator is really a three port device called an "RF Circulator" in which one port is always terminated correctly with a suitable load. RF Isolator are usually passive and are bandwidth limited.
Typical use: It used in the output of a RF Transmitters High Power Amplifiers but before a BP/ HP filter and the antenna.
Typical Function: To isolate a TX RF Power Amplifier output from receiving RF feedback from external sources. i.e. In this case the RF coupled in from other Antenna systems in close proximity. Such undesired RF feedback would cause intermodulation / harmonics products to be generated within the RF amplifier and consequently be re-radiated out along the the desired RF signal to the antenna and possibly cause interference. Often used on all TX's in two way radios sites to avoid local IM.
SIMPLIFIED: In other words an Isolator passes RF in one direction but attenuates RF in the other direction.
Note: The RF Isolator is slightly non linear and therefore it can cause low levels of intermodulation / harmonics. So it is good practice to place either a basic Band Pass or High pass filter after the RF Isolator to attenuate the unwanted IM products.
Tuning these RF Circulators / Isolators correctly requires a suitable network analyzer or combination of RF Bridge / Spectrum Analyzer with Tracking generator.

TP isolator means triple Pole Isolator.
The main difference between the two is that a TP isolator is only a "triple pole" isolator. A TPN isolator is a "triple pole" and neutral isolator.
Oscillation Isolator was created in 2009.
Isolator - EP - was created on 2006-09-26.
If I'm interpreting the question accurately, a "line isolator" is an insulating standoff for transmission or distribution cable. A bus isolator is an insulating standoff for tubular or bar bus as is normally seen in a substation switching yard.
One cannot build a battery isolator. However, one may rewire a battery isolator. The plans to do that can be found on do it yourself sites such as DoItYourself.
take the wire from the alternator (battery) side, not starter side. Connect to center bolt of isolator and a battery to each of the other bolts, depending on how many batteries the isolator is set up to charge.
Isolator is something which blocks current or heat. Where as Circulator is something through which heat and electricity can pass.
An RF scale is a Representative Fraction (RF) Scale
An isolator that is related to optics is called an optic isolator. This is a component that will allow light to only be transmitted in one direction.
