Performance Monitoring of Transformer Parameters

Abstract: Transformers are basic design of electrical device which provide power transmission by transforming induced current from one circuit to another. They have complexity in measuring and monitoring the electrical parameters manually. A system is proposed to measure the parameters using sensors and take the corrective measures when there is a malfunctioning in the system. The real time controlling is done on the basic features like gas level, oil level. These features are essential for effective power transmission and long life of industrial transformers. The monitoring and control of the transformer is done by using PIC microcontroller, RF transmission for wireless communication and sensors which check the level of gas, and oil. The design is to sense the features of transformer and send the information regularly to the controller, the controller in turn will makes the transmission through RF to the client. So, this design makes possible to attain real time control and monitoring of parameters.
