Meaning and Usage

"绝缘" primarily refers to electrical insulation, meaning the prevention of electric current flow between conductive parts. It is commonly used in technical contexts related to electrical wiring, materials, and safety.

  • 绝缘 (insulating layer): refers to the material layer that provides insulation.
  • 绝缘性能 (insulating performance): describes how well a material prevents electrical conduction.
  • 绝缘材料 (insulating material): materials like rubber or plastic used to prevent electric flow.

Extended Usage

Besides the technical meaning, "绝缘" can also be used metaphorically to describe social or relational isolation, indicating a complete lack of connection or contact.

Usage Notes

When used in electrical contexts, "绝缘" is a positive attribute indicating safety and functionality. In social contexts, it often implies a negative or neutral state of disconnection. Avoid confusing "绝缘" with "隔离" which means to separate or quarantine but does not necessarily imply electrical insulation.

Example Sentences
