Classification and Location of Cable Fault in Underground Cable
摘要
The efficient functioning of underground cable networks is crucial for the seamless operation of modern power distribution systems. However, the occurrence of cable faults poses a significant challenge to maintaining an uninterrupted power supply. This work addresses the task of classifying and localizing faults within underground (UG) cables to provide the uninterrupted supply of electricity from the distribution system. This paper introduces a simulation model for a feeder system, emulating a real-world distribution system through the integration of Proteus Simulator and an Arduino-based system. The primary objective of this model is to precisely display fault locations in kilometer (km) within the distribution network. The efficacy of the proposed approach is validated through the examination of various short circuit fault scenarios, subsequently identifying, and accurately locating them.
