Answer / master rapper
a closing resistor is attached to the poles of a circuit breaker to provide damping effect to over-voltage due to switching transients. It simply provides additional protection to the insulation/dielectric of the circuit breaker.

Closing resistors are also intended to allow shunting of
over-voltages power surges that cause that can damamge the
system protected.
