Abstract
As underground cables are best under such conditions its utilization is also growing because of its
obvious advantages like lower transmission losses, lower maintenance cost and they are less
susceptible to the impacts of severe weather and so many. But it is having few disadvantages too
like expensive installation and detection of fault location. As it is not visible it becomes difficult
to find exact location of the fault. In this Project we will be using two methods which will be very
useful to identify the exact distance of fault of underground system from base station. One of the
methods is Murray loop method and other one is Ohm’s Law Method. Murray loop method uses
the whetstone bridge to calculate exact distance of fault location from base station and sends it to
the user mobile. Whereas in Ohm’s law method, when any fault occurs, voltage drop will vary
depending on the length of fault in cable, since the current varies. Both the methods use voltage
convertor, microcontroller and potentiometer to find the fault location under LG, LL, LLL faults
