Underground Cable Fault Detection and Distance Locator

The cable (electrical) runs underground¬ instead of overhead lines. In electrical cables when the fault occurs in underground it’s very hard to find the exact location of the fault process of particular repairing area in cable. From now there is a lot of ideas have been implemented to find the fault in cable wire. Our proposed system detects the exact location in the cable and with the help of Wireless-Fidelity it’s serially communicated towards web page in base station. Till now the problem occurs in underground cables are big problem till now. The average error in absolute locating incipient faults of underground cables are 7.37%, 3.65% and 4.67% respectively. But it’s very difficult to find the faulty location or exact location manually. When losses occurred in wire, they suddenly affect the efficiency of the cable. But the task is to find or detect the fault in underground cable. In order to fill those gaps, we proposed a system which detects an exact location of the fault and notifies through the means of Wireless-Fidelity module it’s serially communicated towards the server.
