What is the difference between Isolator annd Circuit
Breaker.

Answer Posted / mike.vikram

Circuit breaker is the device such as ACB's or MCCB's which
trips the entire system if there is a failure. By the entire
system we mean the elements connected to the particular
busbar of that crcuit breaker.
An isolator is used to cut out a portion of a substation
when a fault has occured on a particular portion of the
whole station to rectify it and repair it and in the
meanwhile the other devices operatee without being affected
by the faulty part.

I don't understand why when we connect high voltage source in DC to electronic motor , we must add capacitor and resistor in parallel ? (I know that we use capacitor because we want to absorb the current that in the first second electronic motor in opposed with current course produce. ) what are the feature of Resistor and in such situation ?
