IOT Based Cable Defect Location Tracker Using GPS and GSM

To prevent excessive potentially harmful obstruction, electrical lines often used to deliver the energy are generally located below the ground in metropolitan areas. As a result, diagnosing the exact site of any problems that emerge becomes incredibly challenging. A malfunction may sometimes occur for a number of driving factors such as excavation, natural disasters, and building and so on. Because of the line's uncertain location, the repair mechanism is complex. This developed framework is intended to identify failures in subterranean networks here Ohm's law is being used to precisely localize a base station to km using an Arduino microcontroller equipment. The resistive networks are used as current sensor and voltage sensor to identify the cable faults such as open or short. Resistive network is connected to Arduino microcontroller of this system. and the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is with the microcontroller that shows fault location; if an error occurs, the error occurred distance is calculated, and the fault location can be identified by using GPS device and display the precise position of the fault region on the LCD. It uses GSM to send a message to the registered contact details notifying them of the cable's location.
