How can we find open circuit fault in power distribution underground cables? what are the methods to finding the faults? Can we detect open circuit fault by arduino? If yes then how?

There are only three things that can happen in an electrical circuit, 1 an open such as a broken wire, 2 a .wire that allows current to flow to another location, 3 a ground that sends current to a grounded point. To find an open locate and isolate both ends of a wire. with a ohm meter check both ends of the wire. if the wire is open (broken) the meter will not show a current through that wire, Then you must trace that wire to find the broken point and either splice it or replace the wire entirely. You can also have an intermittent open where the wire is broken but at times will allow a flow and other no to. Electrical problems are a slow and often expensive problem to solve.
