Circuit breaker and fuses do nothing to protect from very high induced line voltages. By the time the fuse or breaker trips the dielectric has already failed some where.
Th only chance to save the power grid wild be to open all circuits, isolating all large tramsformers install shorting wires on every poss power line. And I can tell you that's not going to happen.
