Is there any difference between circuit breakers and
isolators

Answer Posted / md.kausar adeeb

When any fault occurs,circuit breaker detect the fault and
discontinue the electrical flow by opening the circuit.Thus
circuit breaker can open the circuit directly whereas
isolators opened after opening the circuit
breaker.isolators are used only to make sure that an
electrical circuit is completely de-energised.Thus
isolators can not open a circuit directly.
