Abstract - In the present time scenario, where we use cables and optical fibers for data transmission along with power transmission, locating the flaws and faults in the transmission lines has become a necessity. Transmission lines are among the essential fragments of power systems. Being exposed to climatic fluctuations makes them the most vulnerable fragment. There may be numerous reasons that originate faults in the lines, such as temperature escalation, lightning strokes, even drizzles and fog because insulated carriers to wear out mechanically. It is indispensable to locate the fault point to restore the power at the earliest. Excellence in power delivery is achieved only if the time enforced in determining the flaw point in the line is limited. Accordingly, an authentic access is essential to figure out the literal location of the fault in the transmission line. This project introduces an accurate and adequate approach for determining the location of the line fault. It illustrates how the use of Telegram and GPS along with Xtensa LX7 can relatively reduce the human labor and increase the accuracy whilst downsizing the obligatory time.
