Broken Wire Detector

SHARE

Identifying & Locating the broken wire Inside wall or inside plastic insulation is very di cult, Here a simple
broken wire detector circuit designed with IC CD4069 (CMOS Hex inverter) and visual indicator LED,
sound indicator buzzer.

By using this simple broken wire detector circuit we can identify the exact location of broken wire (note: it Smartphones
is most suitable for only AC supply carrying wire), this circuit detects electro magnetic eld (EMF)
generated by the AC carrying wire if there is a break then this circuit produce no sound and visual alert.

9. Battery 9V

Construction & Working

IC CD4069 is a device consist of six CMOS inverter circuits, it has 14 pins and available in different
package. This IC can be used for all general purpose inverter applications. These Inverter circuits are here
used to oscillate upto 1KHz frequency signal.

In this circuit Resistor R3, R4 and capacitor C2 helps IC CD4069 to oscillate signal and it is applied to
buzzer element, it becomes enable while the detection of EMF on testing wire, two LEDs are connected
with pin 12 of CD4069 through transistor BC547. Here this Q1 acts as a switch and makes LED1 glow
during EMF detection and makes LED2 glow during absence of EMF.

This circuit should be employed with perfect length (approximately 15 cm wire with spiral) wire and it is
acts as a EMF detecting antenna, sensitivity of this circuit can be varied by variable resistor VR1. This
antenna wire should not directly touch high AC supply, You must be safe wile testing AC supply and do
not touch supply wire with bare hands.
