UNDERGROUND CABLE FAULT DETECTION USING NODE MCU MODULE
Abstract
Mostly activities of our life style depend upon electricity. the electricity is generated at different generating stations and distributed to different distribution stations using overhead or underground cables. most of the urban areas and metropolitan cites it is not possible to deploy overhead transmission lines so underground cables are constructed. compared to overhead transmission lines underground cables has plenty of advantages. the climatic change that may be lightning does not interrupt the power supply because of the lines are under the ground. but one of the main disadvantage of using underground cables is fault identification is difficult once the fault is occurred due to any reason. The repairman doesn't know exactly where the fault has happened do he need to dig from base station to fault location in order to find the location of the fault.it consumes more time and more expensive. Our objective is to find out the exact location of the fault in km's from base station.
