Industrial Wiring Fault Detection System

In our daily lives, we tend to use a variety of electronic devices using a variety of complex electronic components. All modern appliances have their electrical wires covered with a PVC jacket to protect both the wires and the user from electric shocks. However, sometimes this protection also causes problems for users. Whenever an internal wire breaks, the device is rendered inactive and the user cannot easily find out why. Video cameras, halogen floodlights, hand drill bits, grinders and cutters are powered by connecting a two or three-core cable to a main power supply. Due to long-term use, the wires of power cables are subjected to mechanical stress and strain, which may lead to internal breakdown at any point. In three-core cables it seems almost impossible to detect the broken wire and the point of fracture without physically breaking all three wires hidden inside the PVC casing. Thus, a circuit is designed which can simply detect the exact location of a broken wire, thus reducing the unnecessary costs for the user.
