1. INTRODUCTION
When the fault occurs, the process of repairing related to that particular cable is very
difficult. The fault of the cable mainly occurs due to many reasons. 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. Cable faults are damage to cables which affect
a resistance in the cable. If allowed to persist, this can lead to a voltage breakdown. There
are different types of cable faults, which must first be classified before they can be located.
The insulation of the cable plays a significant role in this. While paper-impregnated cables
are particularly susceptible to external chemical and thermal influences, in high-voltage
cables the polyethylene insulation of the conductor is affected, leading to partial
breakdowns and cracks that “eat away” the insulation.
3. FEASIBILITY STUDY
It is feasible in finding the faults in underground cables and the technology used to make
project is easily available.
