Underground Cable Fault Distance Locator

This project uses the ohms law concept when a low voltage dc is applied to the feeder end through a series resistor then the current would differ based on the location of fault occurred in the cable in case is there any short circuit occurred from line to ground then the voltage across series resistor alters accordingly then it is fed to an.

Underground cable fault distance locator.

This paper proposes fault location model for underground power cable using microcontroller. To overcome this difficulty here is a solution namely underground cable fault distance locator helpful to discover the fault cable location in underground. This project uses the simple concept of. The cable fault mainly occurs due to several reasons.

If you supply a sufficiently high voltage to the faulty cable the open circuit fault will break down creating a high current arc. 3 less fault occur in underground cable 4 underground cable fault location model are applicable to all types of cable ranging from 1kv to 500kv other types of cable fault such as short circuit fault cable cuts resistive fault sheath faults water trees partial discharges. The aim of this project is to determine the distance of underground cable fault from base station in kilometers. Cable fault per locator reflectometer t 510 is used for location of distance to the fault in underground power cable from lt to ht.

Underground cable fault distance locator circuit. 5 improved public safety. Pulse echo impulse current and decay method for all types of fault conditions. Easy menu based operator guidance.
