Underground Cable Fault Detection Using Arduino And Gsm

The objective of this project is to determine the distance of underground cable fault from base station in kilometers using an arduino board.

Underground cable fault detection using arduino and gsm.

The underground cable system is a common practice followed in many urban areas. The underground cable system is a common practice followed in many urban areas. Arduino based underground cable fault detection circuit the circuit is consists of 4 line display arduino and resistance measurement circuit. In power system generation to distribution has more long cable are used and now we used underground cable.

Code and circuit download link pcb design is in eagle and program is in arduino software. In the urban areas the electrical cable runs in undergrounds instead of overhe ad lines. Thus the project on underground cable fault detection using arduino was done and the distance of the fault from the base station in kilometers was displayed for the three individual phases r y and b. Code 299 underground cable fault detection using gsm.

It is constructed using a constant current source of 100mamps. While a fault occurs for some reason at that time the repairing process related to that particular cable is difficult due to not knowing the exact location of the cable fault. Circuit can be tested with different resistor values to simulate various fault conditions in this project faults upto a distance of 4km can be detected when the fault switches are operated to fault condition then the phase corresponding to that particular switch is considered as the faulty phase. A bstract the project is intended to detect the location of fault in underground cable lines from the base station to exact location in kilometers using an arduino micro controller kit.

Main component of the underground cable fault detection circuit is low value resistance measurement.
