difference between isolater and circuit breaker?

Answer Posted / pillay

I just wish to add something to the above. As said isolators are
generally used to switch on or off an unloaded circuit.They are
usually manually operated but breakers are capable to operate on
their own or remotely during over current or earth fault or just
to break the circuit with the help of under voltage or no volt
coils. The important fact is they are designed to operate on
loaded condition.
