This paper's primary goal is to use an Arduino Mega microcontroller kit and Internet of Things devices to pinpoint the precise position of a fault in an underground wire. Instead of using overhead electrical lines, the metropolitan area uses an underground electrical cable wire. However, pinpointing the exact position of a break in an underground wire can be challenging, making repairs more challenging. Because of deterioration, subterranean conditions, vermin, etc., underground wires are vulnerable to malfunctions. Since we are unsure of the precise position of the problem, the entire cable needs to be dug out for inspection and fault repair. Our suggestion is to precisely locate the problem so that it can be rectified, making the repair process easier. A fault occurs when two lines are too close together; the network combination of the resistors determines the voltage that is produced at that location. After detecting the voltage change, the microcontroller alerted the user. The user receives information regarding the precise location where that voltage coincides. With the aid of a microcontroller, the fault's information is displayed on the LCD.
