Which of the following correctly represents the sequence of operations of isolator circuit breaker and earthing switch while opening a circuit

  • A. Open circuit breaker - open isolator - close earthing switch
  • B. Open isolator - close circuit breaker - open earthing switch
  • C. Close earthing switch - open circuit breaker open isolator
  • D. Close circuit breaker - close isolator - open earthing switch.

Answer: A. Open circuit breaker - open isolator - close earthing switch
