Isolated: Means disconnected from all possible sources of electricity supply by means that prevent unintentional energisation of the apparatus and that are assessed as a suitable step in the process of making safe for access purposes. That is for high voltage (HV) (short-circuited and earthed) and for low voltage (LV) (short-circuited to the neutral).
