Fault Detection Robot for Underground Cable

Abstract

Till the last decade the cables where made to lay over the ground surface and currently the scenario is to lay
underground cable, which is superior to the earlier method. When the cable breaks due to some reasons it’s very difficult
to locate that. Currently what is done is they find the approximate location and dig the cables out from the location and
check it manually to find the exact point of discontinuity. Currently a robot is developed which can be used to locate the
break from an external point. When an underground cable is broken or Short-circuited then our robot will move over it
and locate the exact position of discontinuity. Hence it is an advantage for repairing the same.
