Underground cables are prone to a variety of errors due to underground
conditions, wear, rodents, etc. Diagnosing the source of the error is difficult
and the entire cable must be removed from the floor to check and correct the
errors. The project work aims to determine the location of errors in the
underground cable lines of the base station in km using an Arduino. To locate a
cable fault, the cable fault must be tested. In urban areas, electrical cables
run underground instead of overhead lines. Whenever the underground cable
failure occurs, it is difficult to determine the exact location of the failure
for each cable repair process. The proposed system finds the exact location of
the fault. The prototype is modeled with a set of switches representing cable
length in km and fault creation is made by a set of switches at every known distance
to cross check the accuracy of the same. In case of fault, the voltage across series
resistors changes accordingly, which is then fed to the Arduino? The fault occurring
is displayed on a 20X4 LCD interfaced with the Arduino. IOT is used to display the
information over the Internet using the wifi. A website is created with HTML
coding and information about the occurrence of errors is displayed on a
website.
