Is there any difference between circuit breakers and
isolators

Answer Posted / jothiprakash.t

Circuit breaker is a device which can close or open a
circuit under normal conditions and automatically open a
circuit under abnormal conditions with the help of
protective relays.
Isolator is nothing but a switch which can be
operated at no-load conditions.

While making a circuit,first close isolator and then close
circuit breaker.
While breaking a circuit,first open circuit breaker and
then open isolator.
