1. Isolator is always connected on the two sides of a Circuit Breaker.

Suppose we want
to take maintenance on the Circuit Breaker. How will we provide Isolation?

We will open the Circuit Breaker and will start working? No, there will be potential at
either end of the Circuit Breaker.We cannot take risk as it might happen that while we are
working someone may close the Breaker and people working there on the Circuit Breaker
will get directly promoted to heaven. Therefore we will open the Circuit Breaker and then
will open the Isolators on the both side of the Circuit Breaker. See opening the Isolators
physically isolates the CB from the circuit.

So we have physically isolated the CB. Shall we start working?

No, we shall not start working as the maintainer may get shock. Why?

Because of the static charge on the line, there will be dangerously high voltage on the
line between the two isolators on the both sides of CB. So we need to discharge the static
charge to ground. For this purpose, Earth Switch is provided.

2. Learn that capacitors are represented by two parallel lines. Capacitors are used
to condition rapidly changing signals, as opposed to the static or slower
changing signals that are conditioned by resistors. The traditional use of
capacitors in modern circuits is to draw noise, which is inherently a rapidly
changing signal, away from the signal of interest and drain it away to ground.
