This paper proposes fault location model for underground power cable. The aim of this project is to determine the distance
of underground cable fault from base station in km. Cable faults are damage to cables which affects the resistance in the cable. If allowed
to persist, this can lead to a voltage breakdown. To locate a fault in the cable, the cable must first be tested for faults. This project uses
the simple concept of ohm's law. When any fault like short circuit occurs, voltage drop will vary depending on the length of fault in
cable, since the current varies. A set of resistors are therefore used to represent the cable and a dc voltage is fed at one end and the fault is
detected by detecting the change in voltage using a analog to voltage converter and a microcontroller is used to make the necessary
calculations so that the fault distance is displayed on the LCD display.

The aim of the project is to locate and identify and kind of
fault in the power line. It ensures the quick solution and
rectification of any kind fault and problem that may hinder
the power line. Looking at the future potential of the topic
it ensures the futuristic approach towards the development
of technology that will ease the human daily load and life
style. We can detect any kind of fault using the device. The
device must be close enough for best detection of faults. It
can be used for various transmission lines for detection of
faults due to its efficiency, quick response, cheaper in cost
and its cost effectiveness.
