Detecting and locating fault in power line is very necessary for healthy operation of power system. In electrical power line fault often occur many times making the power system unreliable. In this paper a novel concept using wireless sensor for detecting fault which includes phase to phase, short circuit and mainly line to ground fault in power line for better reliable and optimum operation of the system is presented. In the proposed concept power line is divided by WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) nodes that could sense the faulty condition in power line, display to operator as well as send SMS through GSM modem to service engineer.
