Transformer Health Monitoring System Using IOT

Automation is essential for safeguarding distribution transformers and detecting faults. Additionally, automation lowers human labour, offers superior protection, and is very reliable—all of which are utilized to raise the caliber of electrical services. One of the most expensive parts is the distribution transformer, thus fault and failure protection is essential. The goal of this project is to design and put into place a fault detection and monitoring system for distribution transformers based on GSM. At the transformer site, various types of sensors are mounted, and variables including ambient temperature, oil level, and load current are tracked and recorded. The load current is measured by the current sensor, while the ambient temperature is indirectly measured by the oil level sensor, which also measures the oil level. The engineer will report any abnormal conditions or parameters that are not directly limited by the GSM module, indicating the abnormalities, once this proposed system trips the load. Additionally, the relay will trip the load in the event of an overload or overheating in the distribution transformer, and the engineer will receive an SMS message describing the nature of the malfunction.
