{wiki=Bushing_(isolator)}

A bushing, often referred to as an isolator in certain contexts, is a component used in electrical and mechanical systems to insulate and support conductors, cables, or other components while allowing for relative motion or separation. Bushings play a crucial role in preventing electrical shorts, reducing vibration, and providing mechanical support. In electrical applications, bushings are designed to insulate live electrical conductors from ground or other conductive materials.
