  The system to include an android based underground broken wire detection
which works by detecting the electromagnetic field around a live underground
cable is proposed. The transmission cables undergo stress and strain as they
are under the ground. This may lead to short circuits or various kinds of
snapping in the wire. If these faults are not treated, it may cause an
interruption in the power supply and permanent damage. The proposed method
distinguishes the short circuit fault in the underground links. The existing
and traditional techniques for detection are reviewed and only the methods for
spotting the short circuit error are included. Thus the proposed system
provides a cost-efficient way of detecting the short circuit shortcomings in
underground cables.
