Abstract
In this paper, a method to detect the fault and the distance at which the fault has occurred is calculated. The fault location in the underground cable is a bit cumbersome process so to deal with such problem a method is given in this project. To determine the location of fault a series resistor is used and the voltage across this resistor is measured and then is sent to the microprocessor to calculate the distance at which the fault has occurred. This is a safe and cheap method for obtaining the fault location in an underground cable. This method also does not have a high power requirement and is portable too.
