When a short circuit occurs in an isolator, it can cause a rapid flow of electrical current through the isolator, creating a dangerous situation as it bypasses the intended isolation. This can lead to overheating, arcing, and potential damage to equipment or even a fire hazard. It is important to address short circuits promptly to prevent further damage and ensure electrical safety.

What is the difference between an isolator switch and miniature circuit breaker?
An isolator is just a disconnector ; it disconnects the load from the supply. The method of operating the isolator can be through a handle or through a spring or through a motor. Isolators can be on-load isolators , which can be switched off on load , or they can be off-load isolators which should not be switched off on load. A Miniature Circuit Breaker can break or open in the event of a fault. Thus its load carrying capacity is extremely high , up to 10 kiloamperes or more. What this means is that if a short circuit current to the tune of 10 kA flows through an isolator , it will melt the isolator contacts , and the damage can be irrepairable. When the same current flows through an MCB , the breaker will trip , without suffering any permanent damage. Thus an MCB is a protective device.

What is the operation of isolator?
An 'isolation transformer' is a 1:1 ratio mutual transformer. It electrically isolates the secondary circuit from the primary circuit without changing the voltage level. A bathroom shaver socket uses an isolation transformer.
