Well from my experience , i know that the equipment used for testing is called, Electroclysis Differentiator with a Dicasidace Robinium resistor.
That's just what a circuit-breaker is designed to do - Isolate a circuit from the rest of the system.AnswerNot necessarily. A circuit breaker is a protective device, designed to disconnect circuits in the event of an overcurrent due to overload or short circuit. While a low-/medium-voltage circuit breaker, of course, can be used to open a circuit, it does not necessarily provide isolation. In general, isolation requires a visible break in the circuit; as a circuit breaker's contacts are enclosed, a visible break is not possible.In the case of a high-voltage circuit breaker, the device is used to open a circuit but does not isolate that circuit from the supply. Isolation must be provided using separate,usually non-loadbreaking devices (i.e. devices which are not designed to open a live circuit) called isolators (UK term) or disconnector (US/Canadian term), which provide a visual break in the circuit. The exception to this is a racking-type circuit breaker which, after it has been opened, can be racked down from the circuits to provide a visual disconnection.
I think that the questioner is asking what is the difference between an isolator and a circuit breaker.A circuit breaker is a switching device designed to interrupt a fault current.An isolator is not intended to break a live circuit but, rather, to provide a visible separation between a circuit component and live conductors.For example, isolators (or 'disconnectors' in US parlance) are located on either side of a high-voltage circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker requires maintenance, then the procedure is to:a. trip the circuit breaker.b. open the isolators on each side of the circuit breaker, so there is a visible gap between the circuit breaker and the 'hot' conductors.c. apply temporary earths (grounds) between each isolator and the circuit breaker.d. complete a 'permit to work' card.e. begin work.
A series circuit is one is which all current is restricted to one path. A good example of a device that is series-connected is a circuit breaker.
Earth wire is meant to protect the user in case there is earth fault in the device or circuit. Only earth wire alone is not sufficient. It needs to be provided with suitable circuit breaker that breaks the circuit automatically.

Generally a circuit breaker (like a light switch) But I guess you could use a resistor of the right resistance If you are talking about the circuit breaker there is an electromagnetic coil in it which get magnetized on a specific amount of current and breaks the circuit
Opening a circuit breaker merely interrupts the current flowing through that circuit. It doesn't remove the voltage from the circuit breaker. Isolators (called 'disconnects' in North America) place a visible gap between the circuit breaker and energised conductors, allowing work to be performed on the circuit breaker safely. The full procedure involves: 1. Tripping the circuit breaker (CB). 2. Opening both isolators. 3. Applying temporary earth (ground) connections on either side of the CB. 4. Placing barriers and warning signs around the CB. 5. Issuing a permit to work card to the maintenance supervisor.
One and half breaker system is an improvement on the double breaker system to effect saving in the number of circuit breakers. For every 2 circuits, 1 spare breaker is provided: Two feeders are fed from two buses via their associated circuit breakers and these two feeders are coupled by a third circuit breaker which is called tie breaker. During failure of any of the two feeder breakers, the power is fed via the breaker of the second feeder and main breaker (tie breaker).
If unaltered, it would by called a "tandem" breaker. Typically used to add new circuits to a full load center.
I'm not aware of any device called an 'oil breaker transformer'.However, an oil circuit breaker or, more correctly, an 'oil-filled circuit breaker' is one of several types of circuit breaker used in high-voltage systems. The oil has two functions: (1) it is a far better insulator than air, enabling the circuit breaker to be far more compact (reducing its 'footprint'), and (2) the oil is used to extinguish the arc when the circuit breaker trips under fault conditions -a jet of oil removes ionised contaminants from the arc path, lengthens and 'snaps' the arc, and cools the arc.
