IOT Based Cable Fault Detector

Abstract

The motive of the project is to find the distance of the cables which are underground or behind the walls from a particular main station and present it over the internet. The cables which are located under the ground are susceptible to wide alterability of faults by virtue of subversive environment, abrasion, rodents and many other types of reasons. Identifying the fault and getting it fixed is problematic work to do because the full cable is under the ground so we have to dig the ground and have to take the cable out of that particular ground or wall to inspect and affix the faults in the cable. The project is supposed to sense the site of the fault at the particular position in the cable lines which are underground and far from the main station in km. This is done by using the ATMEGA8 controller. To site a problem in any particular wire or cables, the wire should be examined against the fault. This model utilizes an easy theory of Ohm's law. There should be a fluctuating current relying on the extent of fault of the underground cable.
