One of the recent problems which is
encountered and detected in the Electrical Distribution
Lines is in the Pin Insulator such as Breaking of
Conductor placed on the Pin Insulator, cracks & damage
in the pin insulator due to its exposure to the
atmospheric conditions such as humidity, moisture &
bird excretion etc. Detection and Identification of this
problem is very difficult for the operators and linemen
working because there are so many distribution lines run
across consumer localities and a number of pin
insulators placed on each pole and there are so many
poles in each distribution lines. In Modern day of human
life electricity has a vital importance. Consumers of the
electricity always demand a power without interruption
and fluctuations in it, And it is also the responsibility of
the electricity supplying companies and electricity
boards across the globe to provide electrical power more
efficiently and take care of all the electrical equipments
installed on the system and the proper maintenance of
the process and equipments so that the efficiency of the
equipments and their work life will be maintained. The
proposed system will automatically detect the fault in the
distribution lines due to conductor breaking on the pin
insulator and its exact location with the help of Current
Transformer, Analog to Digital Converter and
Raspberry-Pi processor then through the cloud all the
collected data is sent at a time to the operator directly in
the control room and also to the linemen operating into
that area.
