Abstract

The aim of the project is to design a monitoring and protection system for distribution transformer with the help of GSM and GPS technology. The present monitoring system requires manpower which is time-consuming and it is difficult to predict the occurrence of faults. In this project, we designed a system which continuously monitors the transformer parameters such as load current, voltage, oil level and ambient temperature with the help of sensors. These values are displayed continuously on the LCD display and it is recorded in the system memory. If any bnormalities occur in the transformer then an alert message with the parameter values are sent to the monitoring centre along with the location by means of GSM and GPS which are integrated with the Arduino board. This system will help the transformer to operate smoothly and identify problems before any catastrophic failure.
