An air line isolator is a device used in pneumatic systems to separate different sections of the air supply, allowing for maintenance or adjustments without interrupting the entire system. It typically features a valve that can be closed to isolate a portion of the air line, preventing airflow and ensuring safety during servicing. This tool is essential for efficient maintenance and troubleshooting in industrial applications.
An isolator (disconnector in US terminology) is a switch designed to isolate a section of line afterthat line has been de-energised using a circuit breaker, allowing maintenance work to be carried out on the de-energised section.It's function is to provide a visual break between an energised line and a section of de-energised line and, therefore, is usually one of a pair (one at opposite ends of the de-energised section).Isolators are generally not designed to break load currents (and definitly NOT fault currents!!), so the line must be de-energised using a circuit breaker before the isolator is opened, and the isolator must be closed before the circuit breaker is then used to reclose the line.
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.
Isolator is something which blocks current or heat. Where as Circulator is something through which heat and electricity can pass.
To interrupt the current requires a more-expensive circuit-breaker. An isolator is used to isolate a section of power line after the current has been stopped.
Both are types of isolators of a power circuit. Load break switch is an isolator where circuit can be isolated on load. The quenching media could be air, oil or gas..... Air break switch is type isolator where isolation takes place in the air itself. (break contacts are not immersed in oil, gas ...) But whether these isolators can be opened on load or not can be said only by looking at the desgin data. Some isolators are designed to open and close on load.
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.
TP isolator means triple Pole Isolator.

A feeder is 'isolated' when it is disconnected from the main line using a switching device ('isolator') with a visible break.
Isolator - EP - was created on 2006-09-26.
The Oscillation Isolator was created in 2018. It is a device designed to reduce vibrations in mechanical systems.
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.

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.
