Arduino-based fault distance locator for subterranean cable detection

There has been a rising demand for subterranean deployments because of security and infrastructural growth in the densely populated urban and suburban districts, as well as the need to retain aesthetic qualities in many modern communities. In subterranean cabling systems there are no typical failures of the overhead transmission lines, although some errors, such as short circuits and open circuit failures, are connected with these systems. It is highly cumbersome, costly and time consuming to locate any such failure precisely because its power distribution system is concealed. As a result, an Arduino-powered microcontroller-based underground cable fault distance locator is intended to identify and pinpoint the position of faults in underground cable lines. Underground cable systems are a typical practise in big metropolitan areas. In this project, the ideas of Ohm’s law are applied and are put underground with a short circuit type fault situation. The tracer method is used to discover faults and to construct a prototype of an underground cable fault distance finder.
