Abstract:

The power cable wires are exposed to mechanical strain and stress, which can result in short circuiting or internal snapping or of wires at any point due to prolonged duration usage. In such circumstance, as locating the exact location of a fault of the wire is difficult, most people go for replacing the cable. On the other hand, in 3-core cables, it appears almost difficult to identify a fault section of the wire and the point of break or short circuit without physically interfere all the three wires that are concealed in an insulation Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket cable. In that case, a circuit, which can easily identify the exact location of the broken wire, is built. We called it as iWire and thus minimize unwanted expenses of the user.
