1) Relays acts as a switch. It acts as a protective device which senses a faulty part and it sends signal to circuit breakers.2) Circuit breakers break the circuit/make the circuit under any condition (with/without load).3) Isolator also acts in the same way but isolator isolates or maintains the power...
