Project Title
Underground cable fault detection
Project Area of Specialization
Project Summary
Underground cables have been extensively used for power distribution networks and communication netwoks. This is because of their suitability for underground connections, better security from activities of vandals and thieves, and resistance to hazardous climatic conditions such as thunderstorms and whirlwind.
Underground cables are prone to a wide variety of faults due to underground conditions, wear and tear, rodents etc. Diagnosing the fault source is difficult and entire cable should be taken out from the ground to check and fix faults. Whenever the fault occurs in underground cable it is difficult to detect the exact location of the fault for process of repairing that particular cable.
Project Objectives
Our objective is to design and implement underground cable fault distance locator device that can be used to detect faults in the line. The device has the capacity to detect the type of fault that has occurred in a faulty line. The project work is to detect the location of fault in underground cable lines from the base station in km and find the exact location.
Project Implementation Method
The proposed system is an IOT enabled underground cable fault detection system. The basic principle behind the system is Ohms law. When fault occurs in the cable, the voltage varies which is used to calculate the fault distance. The system consists of Wi-Fi module, Microcontroller. The evaluation of IOT in the electrical Power Industry transformed the way things performed in usual manner.
Benefits of the Project
The benefits of accurate location of fault are fast repair to revive back the power system, it improves the system performance, it reduce the operating expense and the time to locate the faults in the field.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable
the project is IoT based and will work in the field of telecom as well as in electrical communication field.
