Automatic Pole Line Fault Detection System using Microcontroller

The autonomous pole line fault recognition system intends to detect, recognize, and locate faults triggered by natural disasters in the power distributing pole lines. This study focuses on the power line segment that links the transformer and consumers. As the faults will have a direct impact on customers, they must be identified and corrected at the earliest. This action can be accomplished by installing the individual units, which consist of a series of current and voltagebased sensors at the strategic spots along the power line. By u sing sensor data, the system determines whether or not a fault exists on the line. This paper put an end to the traditional method of climbing and detecting the pole line faults present in the Electricity poles. It aids the field electricians with a handheld device to monitor the faults occurring in the pole lines. The transmitter part will be fitted at the pole lines and continuous monitoring will be carried out. If there any faults encountered it will be sent to the nearby Electricity board office using IoT technology. The lineman comes to the desired location and uses the LoRa handheld device to detect the exact pole line in which fault has occurred and also it will ensure their safety for climbing up.
