INTRODUCTION
1
The increasing electricity demand, together with the complex, dynamic and
distributed electricity supplies have caused serious power grid congestion issues in the
future smart grid. Utilities require advanced monitoring of their assets to ensure
reliable and safety power for their users. However, the improved monitoring, e.g.,
dynamic thermal rating and Partial discharge (PD) monitoring technologies for
overhead and underground lines, and wide area measurement system (WAMS) for
online rotor angle stability and inter-area oscillations monitoring applications, are
based on the accurate measurements of voltages and currents. Traditional current
transformer (CTs), mainly used to measure currents in power systems, are wound on
closed cores of silicon steel sheets; thus, they are easily influenced by magnetic
saturation and hysteresis. Furthermore, the need for a closed iron core and the bulky
volume of traditional CTs further limit the development of an intelligent power
protection system.
Compared with traditional CTs, electronic current transformers (ECTs) are one
of the main technologies for implementing condition monitoring for smart
transmission grids and intelligent substations owing to the ECT’s characteristics of no
saturation, small volume, light weight, good insulation, and easy digitization.
Furthermore, based on the wide current measurement range, the ECT can achieve a
multifunctional design for both measurable and protective purposes. By doing this, the
entire sensing structure, which is based on Rogowski coils or optical Faraday Effect
sensors, becomes lighter and smaller. In practical applications, there is complicated
technology and high cost lead to unpopularity. With the advanced development of
wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies in recent years, wireless sensors with the
advantages of rare geography restrictions, simple engineering design, and flexible
equipment expansion facilitates many smart monitoring applications in power industry
without environmental restrictions. Now several wireless current sensors are already

exist in the commercial markets and researches, and are widely and massively used for
monitoring overhead lines to master the status of the power system in real-time.
The objective of this method is to determine the distance of underground cable fault
from base station in kilometers using an Arduino board. Generally use overhead lines.

We can easily identify the faults but in rushed places or familiar cities we couldn’t use
overhead lines. So, moving to underground cables, underground cables used largely in
urban area instead of overhead lines. We can’t easily identify the faults in the
underground cables. This method deals with PIC microcontroller, buzzer and LCD.
This proposes greatly reduces the time and operates effectively. The underground
cabling system is a common practice followed in many urban areas. Many time faults
occur due to construction works and other reasons. At that time it is difficult to dig out
cable due to not knowing the exact location of the cable fault. This proposes greatly

The mobile device displays the fault detection in the underground power lines.
Components are interfaced with PIC microcontroller. PIC microcontrollers are widely
used for industrial purpose due to its high performance ability at low power
consumption. It is also very famous due to moderate cost and easy availability of its
supporting software and hardware tools like compilers, simulators, debuggers.

The proposed underground cable fault detection system design was the choosing
of a suitable micro-controller. The requirements for the micro-controller are
PIC16F877A; a RS232 port, a fair amount of output Digital I/O, and a reasonable
speed. The sensors are connected in the analog pins of controller. Also a reasonable
7
amount of EEPROM was needed to enables the system to store device status. PIC is a
readymade and open source evaluation Kit based on an 8-bit microcontroller. PIC
Microcontroller is the core of hardware interface module, in which GSM for
exchanging data between controller from one side, and mobile from the other side. PIC
communicates with GSM modem through RS232 protocol. If components are directly
connected to hardware interface module, an isolating interface is needed to protect
controller from interference.

There are two memory blocks in the PIC16F72 device. These are the program
memory and the data memory. Each block has separate buses so that concurrent access can
occur. Program memory and data memory are explained in this section. Program memory
can be read internally by the user code.
The data memory can further be broken down into the general purpose RAM and the
Special Function Registers (SFRs). The operations of the SFRs that control the “core” are
described here. The SFRs used to control the peripheral modules are described in the
section discussing each individual peripheral module.
The analog-to-digital (A/D) converter module has five inputs for the PIC16F72. The
A/D allows conversion of an analog input signal to a corresponding 8-bit digital number.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the converter, which generates the result
via successive approximation. The analog reference voltage is software selectable to either
12
the device’s positive supply voltage (VDD) or the voltage level on the RA3/AN3/VREF
pin. The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able to operate while the device is in
SLEEP mode. To operate in SLEEP, the A/D conversion clock must be derived from the
A/D’s internal RC oscillator. The A/D module has three registers:
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET state. This forces the A/D
module to be turned off and any conversion is aborted. The ADCON0 register, shown in
Register 10-1, controls the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1 register, shown in
Register 10-2, configures the functions of the port pins. The port pins can be configured as
analog inputs (RA3 can also be a voltage reference) or a digital I/O.
The power supply is very important section of all electronic devices as all the
electronic devices works only in DC. One important aspect of the project is that the
power supply should be compact. Most electronic devices need a source of DC power.

Fig. Power supply circuit
The AC supply which when fed to the step down transformer is leveled down to
12 volts AC. This is then fed to full wave rectifier which converts it in to 12 volts DC.
This is then passed to a filter to remove the ripples. Then it is fed to a voltage regulator
that converts 12 V to 5 V stable voltages and currents.
The step down transformer is used to step down the main supply voltage from
230AC to lower value. This 230AC voltage cannot be used directly, thus its stepped
down. The transformer consists of primary and secondary coils. To reduce or step
down the voltage, the transformer is designed to contain less number of turns in its
14
secondary core. Thus the conversion from AC to DC is essential. This conversion is
achieved by using the rectifier circuit.
Capacitors are used as filters. The ripples from the DC voltage are removed and
pure DC voltage is obtained. The primary action performed by capacitor is charging
and discharging. It charges in positive half cycle of the AC voltage and it will discharge
in its negative half cycle, so it allows only ACC voltage and does not allow the DC
voltage. This filter is fixed before the regulator. Thus the output is free from ripples.
Regulator regulates the output voltage to be always constant. The output voltage
is maintained irrespective of the fluctuations in the input AC voltage. As and then the
AC voltage changes, the DC voltage also changes. To avoid this, regulators are used.
Also when the internal resistance of the power supply is greater than 30 ohms, the pull
15
up gets affected. Thus this can be successfully reduced here. The regulators are mainly
classified for low voltage and for high voltage.
IC Voltage Regulators
16
Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe
operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking
is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current.
Features
The filter circuit is often fixed after the regulator circuit. Capacitor is most often
used as filter. The principle of the capacitor is to charge and discharge. It charges
during the positive half cycle of the AC voltage and discharges during the negative half
cycle. So it allows AC voltage and not DC voltage. This filter is fixed after the
regulator circuit to filter any of the possibly found ripples in the output received finally.

Fig. LCD Display
The 16x1 display unit will have 16 characters and are in one line. The 16x2 will
have 32 characters in total 16in 1st line and another 16 in 2nd line. Here one must
understand that in each character there are 5x10=50 pixels so to display one character
all 50 pixels must work together. But we need not to worry about that because there
is another controller (HD44780) in the display unit which does the job of controlling
the pixels.
Low cost
A voltage sensor is going to be able to determine and even monitor and measure
the voltage supply. It is then able to take those measurements and turn them into a
20
signal that one will then be able to read. The signal will often go into a specialized
electronic device for recording, but sometimes, an observer will be present to manually
read the sensor output.

4.6.2 Application
There are a variety of applications for electrical voltage sensors. For example,
devices that measure AC voltage levels are used in applications such as power demand
control, power failure detection, load sensing, safety switching, and motor overload
control. Electrical voltage sensors that measure DC voltages are used in energy
21
management control systems (EMCS), building control systems (BCS), fault detection,
data acquisition, and temperature control.
4.7 RELAY
Fig. Relay
Relays are usually SPDT or DPDT but they can have many more sets of switch
contacts, for example relays with 4 sets of changeover contacts are readily available.
22
For further information about switch contacts and the terms used to describe them
please see the page on switches. Most relays are designed for PCB mounting but you
can solder wires directly to the pins providing you take care to avoid melting the
plastic case of the relay. The supplier's catalogue or website should show the relay's
connections. The coil will be obvious and it may be connected either way round. To
prevent damage you must connect a protection diode across the relay coil. The
animated picture shows a working relay with its coil and switch contacts. This lever
moves the switch contacts. There is one set of contacts in the foreground and another
behind them, making the relay DPDT. The relay's switch connections are usually
labeled COM, NC and NO.
COM = Common, always connect to this; it is the moving part of the switch.
NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is off.
NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is on.

This system can be implemented in road ways.
CONCLUSION
The underground cable fault detection system has been successfully designed
and tested. This system is intended to detect the circuit fault in the underground cables
by using a PIC microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller is works based on the output
of the sensor values. By using PIC controller find out exact fault location. Once faults
occur in the cable, the display unit displays the exact fault location. In this method, the
measured current is detected as being in the small or medium current range. The RMS
value per current cycle is transmitted to a back-end monitoring system to accomplish
real-time monitoring. This system detect only the location of short circuit fault in
underground cable line, and also detect the location of open circuit fault, to detect the
open circuit fault capacitor is used in ac circuit which measure the change in
impedance & calculate the distance of fault.
