what is the difference between isolation and insolation ?
please explain in detail with example.

Answer Posted / mahesh reddy

Isolation: It means saparation between equipment and main
supply.When we want to maintain a particular equipment it
should be isolate with mains supply.Other wise we can not
maintain it.

Insulation: It means an isulating material is provided on
the (live) cables or equipment according to their voltage
rating to avoid short ckt b/w live parts and earth faults
b/w live part and ground. This for our safety as well as
equpment safety.if it is not provided may cause so many
electrical hazards or limit the usage of cables in various
places.
