 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
Existing Problems & Analysis
• Arc Reflection Method combined with a high
capacitance surge is used on three phase
GMR Institute of Technology

voltage distribution network.

• A HV surge tester is used to generate spark at
fault position which produces noise and
vibrations in fault site.
• This noise is picked up with the help of
sensitive ground microphone which is further
amplified in surge wave receiver.
2
 set and exact fault point is located by
detecting the fault having maximum noise and
vibrations.

 LITERATURE SURVEY

• When faults occur in underground cables, those are

rectified manually by unearthing them.-Ref 1
• Later in late 1990’s researchers showed interest in
GMR Institute of Technology

detecting the faults without manual intervention.Ref2

• Clegg, Underground Cable Fault Location. New
York: McGraw- Hill, 1993. In this paper, he proposed
a method in which both open and short circuit faults
are detected using microcontroller.Ref-2
