Abstract
One of the a major threat for the electricians are climbing the electric poles to identify the faults . To avoid such cause this research aims to develop a promising method to identify the faults without climbing the poles. The portion of the electrical cable that connects the transformer to the customers is the main emphasis of this proposed work. These errors must be found and fixed as soon as possible because they directly affect the clients to do this, discrete units made up of a number of voltage and current sensors are placed at certain locations along the power line. If a failure occurs on the line, it may be determined using sensor values. The transmitter is mounted to the pole wires for continuous monitoring. If any issues are found, they are reported through GSM to the closest Electricity Board office. The research utilises the LoRa device after they have reached the desired area to find the faulty pole line and to safeguard their safety as they climb. The proposed design has developed a protype for the fault monitoring of particular area in Coimbatore and has also developed an IoT module application interface using Blynk app to convey the detected faults to the nearby electricity board. The proposed design reduces the number of casualties caused and the time required in conveying the faults to the EB. In future the suggested method could be further improved to automatically detect the pole line faults of the complete district.
