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.
TPN (Triple Pole and Neutral) isolator is an electrical switch used to disconnect three-phase electrical circuits, ensuring that all three phases and the neutral are isolated for safety during maintenance or servicing. SPN (Single Pole and Neutral) isolator, on the other hand, is used for single-phase circuits, allowing isolation of the live wire and the neutral wire. Both types of isolators are crucial for ensuring safety by preventing accidental energization of circuits during work.
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.
Isolator is something which blocks current or heat. Where as Circulator is something through which heat and electricity can pass.
In electrical system load means circuit carrying current . Isolator is device which make on ( Connect ) and off ( Disconnect ) of circuit from supply. When load is ON means carrying current and required to disconnect from supply , than is called on load isolation.Here required on load isolator. When load is OFF means not carrying current and required to disconnect from supply , than is called off load isolation.Here required off load isolator. On load isolators design is more precise than off load isolator because while isolating load during ON states create heavy sparking and transient voltage spikes.
The Oscillation Isolator was created in 2018. It is a device designed to reduce vibrations in mechanical systems.
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.
An 'isolator' (UK terminology) or 'disconnect' (US terminology) are generally not designed to break a load current. The circuit must first be broken using a circuit breaker. If an isolator were to be opened 'on load', then it's likely to draw an arc which it has no means of breaking. The heat produced by that arc is likely, then, to damage the isolator's contacts.

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.
An air-break link (ABL) switch is designed to interrupt normal load currents (but not fault currents). In order to do so, they usually incorporate some form of very simple arc-extinguishing feature.An isolator switch, on the other hand, is not designed to interrupt current, but to isolate equipment after that equipment has been disconnected (e.g. by opening a circuit breaker).
TPN (Triple Pole and Neutral) isolator is an electrical switch used to disconnect three-phase electrical circuits, ensuring that all three phases and the neutral are isolated for safety during maintenance or servicing.

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.
A circuit breaker's contacts are enclosed, and must provide a means of extinguishing the arc created when the device opens on a fault current. An isolator's contacts are normally visible -they are not designed to break a fault current or, in most cases, a load current, but merely to provide a visible break between the supply and the load.
