To interrupt the current requires a more-expensive circuit-breaker. An isolator is used to isolate a section of power line after the current has been stopped.

Why the isolator should not closed with load?

Isolation switches can be closed with loads connected. The isolation switch should not be opened under load unless the switch is load rated. This information can be found on the isolation switch's cover as to the amount of current that can be safely interrupted.

What will happend when isolater will open on load?

An 'isolator' (UK terminology) or 'disconnect' (US terminology) are generally not designed to break a load current. The circuit must first be broken using a circuit breaker. If an isolator were to be opened 'on load', then it's likely to draw an arc which it has no means of breaking. The heat produced by that arc is likely, then, to damage the isolator's contacts.


What is oil circuit breaker?

An oil circuit breaker is a breaker that is immersed in a tank of insulating oil. The tank has two electrical bushings through the tank to allow the supply and load to be connected to the breaker. These breakers can be opened under a heavy amperage load. The insulating oil is used to extinguish the arc that is produced when opening a switch under load.


What is the function of the primary current when the secondary winding of the transformer is open?

When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.


What is difference bitween air break switch and load break switch?

Both are types of isolators of a power circuit. Load break switch is an isolator where circuit can be isolated on load. The quenching media could be air, oil or gas..... Air break switch is type isolator where isolation takes place in the air itself. (break contacts are not immersed in oil, gas ...) But whether these isolators can be opened on load or not can be said only by looking at the desgin data. Some isolators are designed to open and close on load.


The current in a wire is determined by what?

an ammeter can be used to measure current flow, either direct insertion type, where the circuit must be opened and the meter is inserted in series with the load, or a clamp on type.
