Underground Cable Fault Detection Using Arduino Circuit Diagram

In power system generation to distribution has more long cable are used and now we used underground cable.

Underground cable fault detection using arduino circuit diagram.

Main component of the underground cable fault detection circuit is low value resistance measurement. In order to detect an variation short circuit fault open circuit fault this project provides accuracy in determining the exact location of fault when a low dc voltage is applied at the feeder end through a. The system detects a voltage drop when the circuit is short circuited on each phase and displays the exact location of the fault in kilometres else it should display no fault. When the underground cable is used to distribution in the urban area sometime fault occurs is an underground cable that time finding fault.

In the event of short circuit line to earth fault the voltage accordingly. Lcd display which dis plays the faults in kilometre. Whatever the fault is the voltage of the cable has the tendency to change abruptly whenever a fault occurs. Detection of fault location in underground cable using arduino 2.

When a fault occur in the underground cables we can find out faults through arduino controller kit. It is constructed using a constant current source of 100mamps. The objective of this project is to determine the distance of underground cable fault from base station in kilometers using an arduino board. Flow of presentation introduction to project underground cable v s overhead cables faults in underground cables methods for the detection of faults introduction to the circuit working of the circuit different circuit components.

So it is necessary to know the exact location of faults in the underground cables. We make use of this voltage across change resistors to detect the fault. In this paper to detect a fault in an underground cable is still a challenging task in power system. Programs uploaded in arduino uno kit to detect faults from the underground cables.

The underground cable system is a common practice followed in many urban areas. Underground cable fault detection. In this project we created faults manually. 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.

Arduino based underground cable fault detection circuit. The circuit is consists of 4 line display arduino and resistance measurement circuit.
