AUTOMATIC UNDERGROUND CABLE FAULT DETECTOR USING IOT

Electronics and telecommunication

The purpose of the project is to detect and locate the fault in underground cable by using LPC2148 . Now a days in the urban areas, the electrical cable runs in underground instead of overhead lines. Whenever the fault occur the repairing process becomes difficult. It is very difficult to identify the exact location of the fault in underground power cable line. This project will ensure a shorter response time to overcome the faults. Fault occur due to short circuit fault, low voltage fault, high voltage fault. This technique is used before to identify short circuit fault only. This project is used to identify not only detect short circuit fault but also detect, low voltage fault and high voltage fault. This technique is used not only for identification but also it is used to send the detail information about the fault to the organization of company using IOT and also it trips the power supply on that particular location for the security of the people. It also used to display the type of the fault in LCD display. Whenever a fault occurs in a cable the buzzer produces the sound to alert and to take an immediate action. As such, deriving an efficient technique to locate a fault can improve system reliability. Use of underground power cable is expanding due to safety considerations and enhanced reliability in the distribution and transmission systems in recent times. Due to safety reasons and high power requirements in densely populated areas, use of underground cable has seen increased in recent time. Now the world is become digitalized so the purpose of the project is intended to detect the Location of fault in digital way.
