Abstract:
Till last decades, a million miles of cables are threaded in the air across the country. But currently it is laid in the underground, which is larger to an earlier method. Because, underground cables are not affected by any adverse weather condition like pollution, heavy rainfall, snow and storm, etc. But, when any problem occurs in cable. it is very difficult to find the exact locati()n of the fault due to not knowing the exact location of the cable. Day by day, the world is becoming digitized so the project is proposed to find the location of fault in digital way. When the fault occurs, the process of repairing related to that pa1ticular cable is very difficult. The fault of the cable mainly occurs due to many reasons. They are inconsistent, any defect, weakness of the cable, insulation failure and breaking of the conductor. To overcome this problem, here is a project namely underground cable fault distance locator, used to find the location of the fault for underground cable. Before attempting to find undergrouDd cable faults on direct bidden cable, it is essential to know where the cable is situated and what direction it takes. Since it is extremely difficult to find a cable fault without knowing where the cable is. it makes sense to master cable locating and tracking before start the fault locating process .The success of fault tracking and locating of an underground cable is mainly depends on the skill, knowledge and experience of that person. Although tracing of the cable can be an intricate job, it will very likely become even more complex as more underground plant is installed. It is just as important to understand how the equipment works.
