IOT Based Underground Cable Fault Detection System

Abstract: The Underground Cable Fault Detection System outlined in this project represents a significant advancement in the field of electrical network management, addressing the pressing need for real-time monitoring and proactive fault detection. By integrating cutting-edge sensor technologies, including AC current and voltage sensors, alongside GSM and GPS modules, the system offers a comprehensive solution for identifying and responding to critical events in electrical infrastructure. The primary objective of this system is to enhance the reliability, safety, and efficiency of electrical networks by enabling swift detection and resolution of faults. Through continuous monitoring of current and voltage levels, the system can identify abnormalities such as over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-loading in real-time. Upon detection of these conditions, automated SMS alerts are promptly dispatched to designated authorities, providing instant notification of the issue and its precise location via GPS coordinates. This immediate response mechanism facilitates rapid intervention and maintenance, minimizing downtime and mitigating potential risks to the electrical system's integrity.
