Abstract

The system to include an android based underground broken wire detection which works by detecting the electromagnetic field around a live underground cable is proposed. The transmission cables undergo stress and strain as they are under the ground. This may lead to short circuits or various kinds of snapping in the wire. If these faults are not treated, it may cause an interruption in the power supply and permanent damage. The proposed method distinguishes the short circuit fault in the underground links. The existing and traditional techniques for detection are reviewed and only the methods for spotting the short circuit error are included. Thus the proposed system provides a cost-efficient way of detecting the short circuit shortcomings in underground cables.
