Transmission Line Fault Detection Using Arduino

Electric power systems are created to provide the maximum level of stability and dependability in the energy supply. A substation facility is a compact structure that houses transformers, switches, voltage regulators, and metering devices for controlling voltages and keeping an eye on circuits. Since the transmission lines used to transfer the power generated at the main stations hundreds of miles before it reaches the substations. The amount of power received at the substations may decrease due to a significant degree of power loss that may take place during the conveyance of the generated electricity. The main goal is to bypass the power and distribution transformers and ensure protection against damages brought on by overloading and defective situations like short-circuits and surges, among others. Current sensor is used in this situation to remedy the issue. Accurate fault location cuts down on the amount of time needed to fix damage, restore power, and lower costs. If a problem arises, the substation will be informed via the Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed initiative reduces business losses, damages to equipment, and improves power quality and reliability.
