Manufacturer of Isolators / Stockiest of Over Head Line Materials / Govt Contractors.
In the intricate world of electrical substations, safety and reliability are paramount. One critical component ensuring these aspects is the isolator, also known as a disconnector. A common configuration in substations involves placing isolators both before and after circuit breakers (VCBs). But why is this arrangement so prevalent?
This article delves into the reasons behind this setup, exploring the functions of isolators, their strategic placement, and their significance in both domestic and international contexts.
An isolator is a mechanical switch designed to physically disconnect a part of the electrical circuit, ensuring that the section is completely de-energized for safe maintenance. Unlike circuit breakers, isolators are off-load devices, meaning they should only be operated when there is no current flowing through the circuit.
A circuit breaker (CB) is an automatic device that interrupts current flow in a circuit during abnormal conditions, such as overloads or short circuits. It can operate under load conditions and is equipped to handle fault currents.

Placing isolators on both sides of a circuit breaker ensures that the breaker can be completely isolated from the rest of the system. This is crucial during maintenance, as it provides a visible and physical gap, confirming that the equipment is de-energized.
This configuration allows for the earthing of the isolated section, further enhancing safety for maintenance personnel. By grounding the isolated part, any residual charges are safely dissipated.
With isolators on both sides, maintenance teams can safely access the circuit breaker for inspection, servicing, or replacement without affecting the rest of the system.
This setup provides operational flexibility, allowing sections of the substation to be taken offline without disrupting the entire system.
Single Break Isolator : Disconnects the circuit at a single point.
Double Break Isolator : Disconnects at two points, providing a more visible isolation.
Center Break Isolator : Used in high-voltage applications
India has emerged as a significant player in the manufacturing and export of high-voltage isolators. According to recent data, India exported approximately 4,454 shipments of isolators under HSN Code 8535 between October 2023 and September 2024. The primary importers include :
✅ Nigeria
✅ Nepal
✅ Bangladesh , Vietnam, Kenya, Mexico, Tanzania, Ghana, South Africa, Peru
These exports underscore the global trust in Indian-manufactured isolators for substation applications.

Whether you're upgrading an existing substation or setting up a new one, our isolators ensure safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.
No, isolators are designed to operate only when the circuit is de-energized
An isolator is a manual switch that isolates a part of the circuit for maintenance, while a circuit breaker automatically interrupts current flow during faults.
To ensure complete isolation of the circuit breaker during maintenance, enhancing safety and allowing for grounding.
The strategic placement of isolators before and after circuit breakers is a standard practice in substations worldwide, ensuring safety, facilitating maintenance, and enhancing operational flexibility. As the demand for reliable electrical infrastructure grows, the role of high-quality isolators becomes increasingly vital.
