The Underground Cable Fault Detection System Using IoT is intended to detect the exact location of fault in underground cable lines from the base station in km using Arduino. To locate a fault in the cable, the cable must be tested for faults. The prototype uses the simple concept of Ohms law. IoT has its major contribution in fault diagnosis and prediction of the physical devices by analyzing the device without the knowledge of the physical manufacturing system. The current would vary depending upon the length of fault of the cable. In the urban areas, the electrical cables run in underground instead of overhead lines. Whenever the fault occurs in underground cable, it is difficult to detect the exact location of the fault for the process of repairing that particular cable. The proposed system finds the exact location of the fault. We use Ohms law principle to detect and verify failures over the internet by authorities, here the Arduino board that is an IoT component functions as a machine brain and handles the sensor data. The machine detects errors by using the future cable-wide divisor network. When a failure occurs when two lines are cut, a certain voltage will be generated according to a combination of the resistance network. The fault occurring node and the exact location is sent to the user through IoT using Ubidots platform.
