Monitoring and Protection of Distribution Transformer Using GSM Module
Keywords:
Distribution transformer, sensors, Arduino controller, GSM, GPSAbstract
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
abnormalities 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.
