Differences between isolation and circuit breakers

Both Isolationand circuit breaker are different concept in terms of Electrical Engineering and System Design perspective :

1. Isolation:

Purpose:

To isolate parts of the system to keep them secure, safe and stop a fault from spreading.

Application:

Typically used in order to protect humans against electric shock, restrain the exchange of electrical noise as far by adequate containment and ensure that a live system can be worked on safely.

Example:

Isolation Transformers Galvanic Isolator Switches

2. Circuit Breaker:

-Purpose:

Overcurrent protection device that goes under the category of fuses or its other immunity; Some type of overcurrent correction- It is what disconnects automatically a electric Circuit from an overload, including short circuit_ when accompanied by third-party temperature cues.

Application:

Used extensively in electrical distribution systems to prevent fires and other damage.

Examples:

There are three different types: thermal circuit breakers, magnetic circuit breakers and hybrid circuits.

To sum it up, isolation is concerned with
