IOT BASED UNDREGROUND CABLE FAULT DETECTION

Abstract

In power system the generated electrical energy is transmitted to the consumer premises with the help of Overhead or Underground transmission system. The Underground system has several advantages as compared to Overhead system but the major problem is we cannot able to detect the exact fault location. In order to overcome this problem, we proposing a new method that is Underground Cable fault detection using IOT. By using this method, we can detect the fault location from the base station in km. It detects the exact fault position that makes repairing work very easy. The repairmen know exactly which part has fault and only that area is to be dug to detect the fault source. This saves a lot of time, money and efforts and also allows to service underground cables faster.
This method is faster and efficient when compared to all other existing Methods. In Existing methods, we didn’t upload any information to the cloud server. But in this method, the information is uploaded to cloud server.
