Electrical isolation is a safety and functionality measure used to prevent unwanted current flow between different parts of an electrical system, thereby protecting equipment and ensuring user safety. It is achieved through the use of insulating materials or devices like transformers and opto-isolators that separate electrical circuits without direct conductive connection.

Insulating materials are substances that reduce the rate of heat transfer, enhancing energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings and devices. They work by minimizing conduction, convection, and radiation, often utilizing air pockets or reflective surfaces to achieve their insulating properties.

Transformers are a type of neural network architecture that excels in processing sequential data by leveraging self-attention mechanisms, enabling them to capture long-range dependencies more effectively than previous models like RNNs. They have become the foundation for many state-of-the-art models in natural language processing, including BERT and GPT, due to their scalability and ability to handle large datasets.
