Abstract :

The objective of this paper is to determine the distance of faulty underground cable from the base station in kilometres using Arduino microcontroller. Using the concept of ohms law, controller measures resistance or capacitance of the circuit and finds distance in kilometres with the proposed system, finding the exact location of the fault is possible. In case there is a fault, the voltage across series resistors changes accordingly, which is then fed to inbuilt ADC of Arduino board to develop precise digital data for display in kilometres. The paper uses the standard concept of Ohms law i.e., when a low DC voltage is applied at the feeder end through a Cable line, then current would vary depending upon the location of fault in the cable. The project is assembled with a set of resistors representing cable length in KM’s and fault creation is made by a set of switches at every known KM to cross check the accuracy of the same. The fault occurring at a particular distance and the respective phase is displayed on an LCD interfaced to the Arduino board and sent SMS to registered mobile number.
