Underground Cable Fault Distance Locator
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Abstract
This project suggests fault location model for underground power cable using microcontroller. The main concept of this project is to find the distance of underground cable fault from the base station in kilometers. In many urban areas, cable fault is a common problem. when a fault occurs due to some reasons, the process of fault tracking without knowing the location related to that particular cable is very difficult the proposed system is designed to track the exact location of the fault occurred in the cable. this project uses the ohm's law concept when a low voltage DC is applied to the feeder end through a series resistor, then the current would differ based on the location of fault occurred in the cable. in case is there any short circuit occurred from line to ground, then the voltage across series resistor alters accordingly, then it is fed to an analog to digital converter to develop exact data, which the preprogrammed 8051 microcontrollers will display in kilometers.
