An electrical isolator (10) is provided, the isolator (10) comprising: a first fluid-carrying member (12) and a second fluid-carrying member (14) spaced apart from the first fluid-carrying member (12) in an axial direction; a resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (30) located between the first and second fluid-carrying members (12, 14), wherein the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (30) is adapted to convey fluid flowing from the first fluid-carrying member (12) to the second fluid-carrying member (14); a first fluid sealing member (46) provided between the first fluid-carrying member (12) and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (30); a second fluid sealing member (46) provided between the second fluid-carrying member (14) and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (30); and a reinforcing composite (50) encircling the first fluid-carrying member (12), the second fluid-carrying member (14) and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (30), wherein a radially inner portion (42) of the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (30) separates the first fluid-carrying member (12) and the second fluid-carrying member (14) by an axial distance, and wherein the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component (30) is configured such that the first and second sealing members (46) are located within the axial distance between the first fluid-carrying member (12) and the second fluid-carrying member (14).
