Underground Cable Fault Distance Locator over GSM Technology

Abstract

Underground cabling system is much preferred system of cabling. In this system cables carrying electricity or data are buried under the earth surface. This makes it secure as the wires are not open to get in touch with humans directly. Direct contact can harm human in case of electricity and they also may get damaged if they get intact with something rigid or hard. The proposed system is developed to locate the faults which underground cabling systems experience. The proposed system will locate the errors automatically which is time saving process and also uses GPS to track the exact location of the error and uses GSM to send this information of the area of the fault and at what wire the fault has occurred. This makes proposed system beneficial for underground cabling scenarios so that just sitting at a remote location the exact wire and its exact fault location is tracked and the administration is informed about it.
