The principal objective of this project is to detect the faults and anomalies happening in underground cables utilizing Arduino. Ohm's law is the fundamental concept that guides this project's operation. Depending on where the cable fault lies, the current value also varies at the feeder end when a DC voltage is supplied. Therefore, the Arduino's integrated ADC gets the voltage change detected across the resistor in the event of a short circuit, such as an L-G or L-L fault. This value is processed by the Arduino, and the defect is identified in relation to the base station's distance. This value is transmitted to the LCD interface on the Arduino board, which displays the precise location of the defect in relation to the base station for each phase in kilometres. This project is organised using a set of resistors that indicate the length of the cable. In order to manually cause faults, fault switches are installed at each known kilometer. The fault distance can finally be determined.
