how we can recognize from each other?as i know isolate will don by TR primary and secondary separation winding ?why non isolate save 30 power with same power factor ????

If you mean, why use isolated psus instead of non-isolated ones, because isolated types are safer to use, they can control the current, whereas non-isolated is cheaper to produce and doesn't create wasted heat.

You mean by control current =when voltage vary current vary to give same power .....i which type create wast heat ??and in which part of driver ??

Dave is right. A non-isolated power supply connects one side of the supply line to the output. Having one side of the line connected to something provide s a chance for getting serious shocks and for starting fires, and, in addition, for damaging ht device being powered. Also, there are quite a few other reasons for using an isolated power supply.
