Typically fault currents are high at buses. I'm assuming you're referring to fault current from a particular source is low at a specific bus. Fault current will drop off as more resistance is added between the source and the fault (ohms law). This is why fault currents are typically high at a bus - you often have many lines coming into a bus from multiple sources, so the apparent impedance from these sources is less (less resistance).

What is a line differential protection?

Differential protection for power transmission systems comes down to looking at power coming into a location and power leaving that location; if these are equal, then everything is OK. If these are not equal, meaning power is going in and not coming back out, this indicates a fault condition. An example of differential protection is for a substation bus. current transformers are connected to the bus differential from every power sourch into and out of the bus. The bus differential adds all the currents up, and the sum should be zero. If it is not, this means current is flowing into the bus but not leaving, meaning it is going to ground somewhere. A line differential is the same concept as a bus differential. It's simply covering a line, which can be many miles long, so usually two relays are used, connected by a high speed communication path such as fiber optic cable. The current flowing in one side should be equal to the current flowing out the other.

What are the difference between bus reactor and line reactor?

Bus reactors are the inductors that limit voltage transients between a couple sections of a bus or a couple separate buses. Line reactors are capacitor or user amperage stabilizers placed at points of usage or right before transformers.

What is a bus fault?

When a fault occurs in the electric bus (electric lines and intersections) due to short circuit between the phases or between 1 or more phase and ground, the current value mounts up to a very high value, which is known as bus fault current. This high value of current may cause damages to the transformers and could also rupture the other electric lines connected to the bus.
