Transformers is the basic design of the electrical device which provides power transmission by transforming induced current from one circuit to another. The induced current can be converted step up or step down of current or voltage. This application mainly concentrates on the distribution as well as power transformers which are used in between the electrical Power system. Real-time monitoring and protection are done for basic features like oil level, temperature, over-voltage, over-current, under-voltage, maintenance, etc. These features are essential for effective power transmission and the long life of transformers. The monitoring and protection of the transformer are done by using an ATmega16L microcontroller, IoT, and sensors which check the level of oil, over-voltage, smoke detect and maintain temperature by continuous real-time monitoring. There are various transformer maintenance techniques, but this kit gives real-time monitoring and control of transformers by using the ATmega16L microcontroller. The design is to sense the parameters of the transformer and send the parametric information regularly to the control room. So, this design makes it possible to attain real-time protection and monitoring by using IoT. This project gives us an efficient system as well as we are connected all the power system transformers online for regular monitoring and get uninterrupted power supply to the consumer.
