isolerad

Isolerad is a Swedish adjective meaning separated to prevent interaction or energy transfer. It is used across different domains to describe something that has been made to resist or prevent transfer of heat, electricity, moisture, or influence. The word stems from the verb isolera and is related to the noun isolering, both referring to the concept of separation or protection.

In construction and engineering, isolarad refers to objects or spaces that have been prepared with insulation material to reduce heat loss or gain. Common applications include walls, roofs, pipes, and refrigerated enclosures. Proper insulation improves energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and resilience against extreme temperatures.

In electrical and electronic contexts, isolation describes the separation of circuits to prevent unwanted current flow, noise, or hazards. Isolering can be achieved through physical barriers, insulating materials, or devices that provide galvanic separation, such as transformers or opto-isolators. This use is important for safety, signal integrity, and compliance with technical standards.

The term can also describe social or geographical conditions, where a person, area, or ecosystem is physically or conceptually detached from others. For example, an isolated community or an isolated region lacks regular contact with surrounding areas, which can affect access to services, information, or trade.

Related terms include isolering (the process or act of insulating) and isolation (the broader concept of separation or detachment). The exact meaning of isolarad depends on context, but it generally denotes some form of protective or separating measure.
