To protect the system from faults the equipment used is known as switch gear
AnswerSwitchgear is the generic name for transmission and distribution equipment designed control, disconnect, and protect an electrical system. Switchgear includes circuit breakers, fuses, and isolators (US term: disconnectors). As well as being used to control circuits by opening or closing those circuits, circuit breakers are designed to interruptand to close onto electrical faults so must incorporate means of extinguishing the arcing associated with such faults. Circuit breakers, therefore, have a essential role in responding to protection systems. Isolators are non-load breaking switches, designed to isolate equipment (including circuit breakers) from high voltages, so that the equipment can be maintained.

What is meant by susceptance in electrical engineering?
Susceptance is the reciprocal of reactance, and is expressed in siemens (symbol: S). So, inductive susceptanceis the reciprocal of inductive reactance, and capacitive susceptance is the reciprocal of capacitive reactance.
