Underground Cable Fault Monitoring System Using Cloud Computing and IOT

Abstract

In order to avoid needless impediment, cables are buried. When underground force cables are used to transmit electrical force, it can be very difficult to pinpoint exactly where a failure occurred. There are many factors or motives that can cause a default, such as burrowing, tremors, construction work, and so forth. The fixing process associated with the cable is difficult because it is unable to pinpoint the precise location of the problem that occurred to the cable. These flaws cause poor power transmission efficiency, which results in a significant annual power loss. The secret to raising the dependability and achieving the best performance out of the system is the development and design of new methods to identify the type of defect and its location. A very fundamental method used in metropolitan areas is underground cable framework. The defects in an underground cable route from the base station to a specific location in kilometres are anticipated to be discovered in this article. With the aid of a prospective divider organise placed over the cable, the framework detects flaws. When a cable line fault is discovered, a voltage is generated in accordance with the resistors' organised mixture. The microcontroller detects this voltage and updates the user. The user is informed about defect detection in the information provided. The microcontroller gets the fault line data and displays it on the LCD screen. It also sends this data over the internet to the Gmail server for display.
