Abstract This project aims to check the underground cable separation from the base station. The underground cables framework is a general practice took after in loads of urban territories. While a fault happens for reasons unknown, at that instant of time the repair handling related to that specific cables is troublesome because of not knowing the correct area of the cables fault. The proposed framework is to locate the right field for the failure. This extends the ordinary idea of Ohms law, i.e. when a low DC electrical energy is connected at the feeder end through an arrangement of a resistor (Cable lines), then present would shift contingent on the position of a fault in the cables. If close is a short circuit (Line to Ground), the voltage crosswise over arrangement resistors changes likewise, which is then connected to an ADC to create precise computerised information which the modified microcontroller would appear in kilometres. The venture is amassed with an arrangement of resistors speak to cables length in KM's, and fault analysis is made by a method of switches at each known KM to cross-check the exactness of the same. The fault happening at a specific separation and each stage shows on an LCD interfaced to the microcontroller. Top Keywords Underground cables, Arduino, microcontroller, fault detection. Top |
