IoT Based Transformer Monitoring System using Arduino.

Abstract

Transformers are a vital part of the transmission and distribution system. Any damages in transformer adversely affects the balance of a power system. The damages are mainly occurring due to overloading and inefficient cooling. The main objective of the real time monitoring of the health conditions of the distribution transformer using IOT technology. The parameters such as temperature, voltage, current, and oil level of a transformer are monitored, processed and recorded in servers. For this purpose, we use sensors interfaced with Arduino Mega 2560. The recorded data can be send using Wi-Fi module and accessed from anywhere around the world using IOT technology. This system will help to identify or recognize unexpected situations before any serious failure which leads to greater reliability and significant cost savings.
