Project Title

Prototype Of Automatic Underground Cable Fault Detection Using Ardiuno

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

 The main objective of this project is to detect the faults and abnormalities occurring in underground cables using an  arduino.The basic idea behind the working of this project is ohms’s law .At the feeder end,when a DC voltage is applied, based on the location of fault in the cable,the value of current also changes.So in case of a short circuit fault like L-G or L-L fault the change in voltage value measured across the resistor is then fed to the in-built ADC of the arduino.This value is processed by the arduino and the fault is calculated in terms of distance from the base station.This value is sent to the LCD interfaced to the arduino board and it displays exact location of the fault from the base station in kilometers for all the three phases.This project is arranged with a set of resistors which represent the length of the cable.At every known kilometer fault switches are placed to induce faults manually.Finally the fault distance can be determined. 

Project Objectives

The main objective of this project is  to detect the exact location of circuit fault in the underground cables from the feeder end in km.

Project Implementation Method

To achieve the desired objectives of the project the following will be the major steps:

Step 1: Object Recognition through Deep Learning

To design the protues diagram of the project and do all the soft wear work like designing supply resistor values three phases etc.

Step 2: Porting Model to Arduino

In this phase programming portion of Arduino is completed and project is tested on software if its work properly in software then step 3 is started.

Step 3: Development of hardware

In order to develop when all software work is tested then we design the hardware phase in this phase all components are assembled according to the tested software diagram

Benefits of the Project

• Low maintenance cost

• It has higher efficiency  
• Less fault occur in underground cable
• This method is applicable to all types of cable ranging from 1kv to 500kv .
•  It can detect other types of cable fault such as Short circuit fault, cable cuts

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

in this projest we learned about how to design any circuit on proteus an d how to do Ardiuno coding similarly we learnt about dealing with errors in proteus ardiuno we also awored with the most advance technology in th world Called IOT( INTERNET OF THINGS).
