ABSTRACT:

The aim of this project is to improve the performance of

transformer by monitoring transformer parameter automat
ically and taking necessary action if there is any critical con
dition using a GSM modem. The project work focuses on th
e automatic monitoring of transformer parameter, Current,
voltage, oil level, oil temperature. This is accomplished by u
sing microcontroller, sensors, GSM modem.

 Fig.2.1 Simulation of Phase Fault

As shown in above images, we have tested the proposed system on simulation

basis. The fig 4.11 shows the simulation of faulty R phase (under voltage
condition).

 Fig.2.2 Simulation of temperature fault

The fig 4.13 shows the simulation of temperature fault (over temperature
condition).

 Fig.2.3 Simulation of oil level

The fig 4.15 shows the simulation of oil level fault (below low condition). As oil level
of system is in between prescribed limits the output displayed on LCD is “OIL
LEVEL AT MIDDLE”.

 CONCLUSION
Transformers are among the most generic and exp
ensive equipment, hence the regular monitoring
health condition of transformer is essential.
Since it possible to receive fault information of tra
nsformer through GSM technology.
So one can take possible solution before convertin
g fault into accidental situation.
This is the technique of increasing the life of transf
ormer in decrease cost of power system operation.
