What is the difference between Isolator and Circuit Breaker?

Isolator is a off load device which is used for isolating the down stream circuits from upstream circuits for the reason of any maintenance on down stream circuits. It is manually operated and does not contain any solenoid unlike circuit breaker. it should not be operated while it is having load. first the load on it must be made zero and then it can safely operated. Its specification only rated current is given. But circuit breaker is on load automatic device used for breaking the circuit in case of abnormal conditions like short-circuit, overload etc., it is having three specification 1 is rated current and 2 is short circuit breaking capacity and 3is instantaneous tripping current.
