Abstract:-
Transmission of electrical power, especially overhead lines as it is the case in large scale power distribution networks, constitutes a vital part of any modern power distribution network. However, these transmission lines are often exposed to environmental and operational conditions that may lead to several kinds of damages, jeopardizing the reliability and security of such systems. The increasing requirement for uninterrupted power supply raises the bar for instant diagnostics. This work is designed for the design and implementation microcontroller based automatic overhead transmission line fault detection system. The system maintains control over essential electrical parameters and constantly monitors for departures from normal operating conditions. It communicates with Blynk application, and supports remote fault indication through real-time alerts on an LCD or mobile device. Such a solution greatly improves the error management and response capabilities of overhead power networks, while it is still cost-efficient and reliable.
