isolerat

Isolerat is a Swedish adjective and past participle derived from the verb isolera, meaning to insulate or to isolate. It describes something that has been provided with insulation or that has been separated from surrounding conditions to prevent transfer of heat, sound, moisture, or electricity. The term covers both thermal insulation in buildings and electrical or acoustic isolation in technical installations.

In construction and housing, insulation is central to energy efficiency. The phrase ett isolerat hus (a insulated house) or isolerade väggar (insulated walls) is commonly used, as is isolerat tak for a roof that minimizes heat loss. In electrical engineering and electronics, isolerat or isolerad describes components that do not conduct electricity, such as isolerade ledningar or en isolerad kabel. In acoustics, isolering refers to reducing sound transmission, with materials described as isolerade or used to dampen noise.

In Swedish grammar, isolerat is typically used with neuter nouns (ett), while with common gender nouns the form is isolerad (en). As a participle it can function as a predicate or as an adjective in product specifications, building codes, and technical descriptions.
