Fault Recognition Of Underground Cable Using Internet Of Things

Abstract

The main objective of this research paper is to propose a system for fault recognition in the cable by utilizing a microcontroller (Arduino). This proposed system will pin down the meticulous location of underground cable by the means of internet, more particularly through the control station in “kilometers”. The proposed system’s concept is centered on OHM’s law i.e. voltage drop may vary including on the span of the fault in cable because of current’s variation. In our research we have employed an assortment of resistors to depict the cable’s length in “kilometers” and dc voltage is implemented at one of the ends. The fault is discerned by capricious voltage employing an ADC unit (analog-to-digital Converter). The display unit is coupled with the microcontroller for information display about the fault supervening at diverse lines.
