Methods for the Detection of Faults
230/12V
The 230V AC supply is first stepped down to 12V AC using a
step down transformer.
Here three mini power relays are used each for one of the
three phases. The relays periodically scan the three
phases and send the signal to the arduino controller.
At the same time, it also outputs real time GPS NMEA data
for navigation.

GGA Global positioning system fixed data
GLL Geographic position - latitude/longitude
GSA GNSS DOP and active satellites
GSV GNSS satellites in view
RMC Recommended minimum specific GNSS data
VTG Course over ground and ground speed
ADVANTAGES:
1) Less maintenance
2) It has higher efficiency
3) Less fault occur in underground cable
4)Underground cable fault location model are applicable to all types
of cable ranging from 1kv to 500kv&other types of cable fault such
as-Short circuit fault, cable cuts, Resistive fault, Sheath faults,
Water trees, Partial discharges.
5) Improved public safety.

CONCLUSION
Thus the project on Underground cable fault detection
using Arduino was done and the distance of the fault from
the base station in kilometers was displayed for the three
individual phases R, Y and B. Circuit can be tested with
different resistor values to simulate various fault
conditions In this project faults upto a distance of 4km
can be detected. When the fault switches are operated to
fault condition then the phase corresponding to that
particular switch is considered as the faulty phase. So the
faulty section can easily be located. In this paper we used
GSM and GPS to get the sms alert about the fault
location lattitudually and longitudinally.
