Answer / sanjay dalvi

Dear all,

Isolator is used to isolate the system during fault from
healthy system.

Mcb it is miniature circuit breaker which is used to
protect the sysem from short circuit,earth fault...it
operates automatically when relay gives the command to
circuit breaker.

Answer / nikhil hari

Isolater is used to isolate our devices form Supply. but
there is no protection in isolater. If any fault current
comes our devises or isolater get damaged. Eg: Switch
But MCB is used for circuit protection rather than
isolation.If any fault current comes MCB will trip and
protect or devise.
Different types of MCB's are there B,C,D curve MCB. that
depend up on Instantinous tripping Chara of MCB.

Answer / elangkumanan

for only one phase.
MCB it is operating automatically when load or fault current
exceed the predefined value but isolator is not operating

Answer / ramanjan

MCB will interrupt flow of fault or excess load current into the circuit under load condition.
Isolator wont interrupt flow of fault current but it is used to disconnect the faulty circuit from healty circuit under noload condition only

Answer / akshay jangra

There is not much difference. MCB is used only on LIVE wire which isolates when excess current flows and ISOLATOR is a combined form of two MCBs which isolates LIVE wire as well as NEUTRAL...
