INTRODUCTION
•Fault Detection and Protection: Identifying and grouping faults in transmission is crucial for protecting the
electrical power system, with selector modules detecting fault types and restoring normal conditions.

•Importance of Rapid Phase Selection: Phase selectors must operate quickly to avoid misselecting the
wrong phase, ensuring proper protection before the breaker opens.

•Challenges in Fault Selection: Complex system models, lack of boundary data, and external influences like
distant faults and adjacent line issues complicate fault detection and decision-making.

•Remote Sensor-Based Monitoring: Sensors provide continuous, real-time data on the transmission network,
enabling faster fault detection, isolation, and cost-effective maintenance.

•Efficient Data Transmission: A robust, fast-response network design is essential for transmitting sensitive
control data and ensuring efficient operation at an affordable cost.
METHODOLGY
1.Setup Components:
•The system includes two key components: GSM and a microcontroller.
•Sensors for over-voltage, fire, short circuit, and open circuit are connected to the microcontroller
and transmission lines.

2.Arduino Connections:
•Arduino is connected to the RPS (Regulated Power Supply), LCD, buzzer, and GSM, forming the
complete circuit.

3.Fault Detection Process:


•When the system is powered, the sensors monitor faults like high voltage, fire, short circuit, or open
circuit.
•Detected faults trigger the Arduino to send signals to the LCD and buzzer, while GSM sends an
SMS alert.
4.Over Voltage Fault:
•Occurs when high current flows through the transmission line.
•The voltage sensor detects the fault, and the system sends an SMS via GSM and displays the issue on the
LCD.

5.Fire Fault:
•If a fire occurs in the transmission line, the fire sensor detects it, sending an SMS via GSM and displaying
the fault on the LCD.

6.Short Circuit and Open Circuit Faults:


•Short Circuit Fault: Triggered when two lines touch each other in the transmission line.
•Open Circuit Fault: Detected when a transmission line is broken.
•Both faults are detected by their respective sensors, with the system sending an SMS and displaying the
fault.
