A fault in electrical equipment is defined as defect in the system where the current is diverted or blocked from its original path. Faults occur due to cheap materials and improper sheath in the cables. Also, whenever a fault occurs in underground cable it is very difficult to detect the exact location of the fault and for repairing the same cable. The proposed system helps to find the exact location of the fault and determines the fault using an Arduino microcontroller. It also detects the leakage current using a relay driver to avoid faults occurring repeatedly. The concept is based on ohm’s law, due to variation in current the voltage drop can vary on counting on the length of the fault in cable. The fault data are stored in cloud for future reference to the base station. The exact location is displayed in the LCD screen connected with the microcontroller.

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.

-The main objective of this research paper is to propose a system for fault recognition in the cable by utilizing a microcontroller (Arduino). This proposed system will pin down the meticulous location of underground cable by the means of internet, more particularly through the control station in “kilometers”. The proposed system’s concept is centered on OHM’s law i.e. voltage drop may vary including on the span of the fault in cable because of current’s variation. In our research we have employed an assortment of resistors to depict the cable’s length in “kilometers” and dc voltage is implemented at one of the ends. The fault is discerned by capricious voltage employing an ADC unit (analog-to-digital Converter). The display unit is coupled with the microcontroller for information display about the fault supervening at diverse lines.


This paper suggests a fault detection system of underground cables by making the use of microcontroller and internet of things (IOT). After detecting the location of fault in the underground cable the microcontroller alerts the user remotely through the IOT. The occurrence of fault up to a predefined distance can be investigated through this proposed system. The display unit is attached to the system for displaying the electrical parameter such as voltage, current and also the distance at which fault occurs. The fault detector measures the current and voltage of underground cable and if there occurs the high difference between voltages and current of two terminals of fault detector then the detector will alert the user remotely without going close to the cable.

The underground cable system is a common practice followed in many urban areas. While a fault occurs for some reason, at that time the repairing process related to that particular cable is difficult due to not knowing the exact location of the cable fault. Hence, the main objective of this project is to determine the distance of underground cable fault from base station in kilometers using an Arduino board and GSM. The project uses the standard concept of Ohms law and voltage division rule to detect and locate the fault. The fault occurring at a particular distance and the respective phase is displayed on a LCD interfaced to the Arduino board and information regarding fault occurrence is sent to control areas using GSM modules.

Abstract Hot-carrier luminescence emission is used to diagnose the cause of excess quiescence current, IDDQ, in a low power circuit implemented in CMOS 7SF technology. We found by optical inspection of the chip that the high IDDQ is related to the low threshold, Vt, device process and in particular to transistors with minimum channel length (0.18 μm). In this paper we will also show that it is possible to gain knowledge regarding the operating conditions of the IC from the analysis of optical emission due to leakage current, aside from simply locating defects and failures. In particular, we will show how it is possible to calculate the voltage drop across the circuit power grid from time-integrated acquisitions of leakage luminescence.
