Detection and Location of the Fault in Power System and Monitor Different Parameters using Sensors

The prototype model described in the paper discusses the detection and location of the fault in the distribution power system and monitors different parameters using sensors. It consists of two parallel sections of lines connected through the resistive load. The microcontroller-based concept was used to detect faults in each section of the line. A model was developed which will automatically monitor the parameters such as current, voltage, power, and power factor with the help of sensors and generate alerts and take intelligent decisions to detect the faults in the lines.
