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.

Efficient electrical earthing in hard rock area
1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
