No, because if you switch a 50-amp load on, it will blow a 40-amp circuit breaker if the load exceeds 40 amps, which is likely.

Need of isolator on both side of circuit breaker?

Before anyone is allowed to work on a high-voltage circuit breaker, it must be tripped, electrically isolated, earthed (grounded), barriers/warning notices put in place, and a permit to work document issued by an engineer to the senior member of the maintenance crew. 'Isolation' means a physical (and visible) break in the conductors between the circuit breaker and any potential source of supply -and this is provided by placing isolator switches on each side of the circuit breaker. Without these isolators, the circuit breaker would remain energized, even though the circuit has been broken by the circuit breaker.


What to do if there is no slots left for your 2 pole breaker?

You basically have only 2 options:Replace your old breaker box with a larger one.Install a secondary breaker box.Either way is major work and might violate local codes. I strongly suggest having an electrician do such work.


Does the current still flow when the circuit has blown?

If everything is working as it should then no current flows when the breaker is off. This is no better example of this than there is on answers. When a do it yourselfer looks for an answer and gets one, the answer is always ended with the suggestion that before doing any work always shut off the breaker. If the breaker is malfunctioning one symptom is that a voltage is still present even though the handle is in the off position. If this is the case change the breaker out immediately.


Why does the breaker continue to trip until hot wire is disconnected?

There is a short somewhere in the line. Start at the outlet end and what is plugged into it and work your way back. If it is a GFI breaker, they can be bad and trip as soon as any drain is put on them. I have had them trip as soon as a drill is plugged in without even turning on the drill.
