The main objective of this project is to detect the faults and abnormal changes occurring in underground cables with the help of arduino. Ohm's low is the basic idea behind the working of this project .when a DC voltage is applied, at the feeder end, based on the location of fault in the cable, the value of current also changes. So in whenever a short circuit fault like L-G or L-L fault the change in voltage value measured across the resistor is then given to the in-built ADC of the arduino. The fault is calculated in terms of distance from the base station, when value is processed by the arduino. This value is sent to the LCD interfaced to the arduino board and it displays exact location of the fault from the base station in kilometers for all the three phases .This project contains a set of resistors which represent the length of the cable. To induce faults, mainly at every known kilometer fault switches a replaced. Finally the fault distance can be determined.
