Abstract: This paper provides fault location model for underground cable using Raspberry Pi module. The aim of the project is to determine the distance of the underground cable fault from base station in kilometres and provide a real time picture of fault itself in a web page when there is a fault such as insulation fault occurs, voltage drop varies upon the length of the fault in cable as current varies. A Prototype cable itself of about length 2 meters represents underground cable and fault is noticed by detecting the voltage changes using sensors which are controlled by Raspberry Pi module so that the fault information is displayed on LCD display.
