DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER PROTECTION USING MICRO - CONTROLLER.

The aim of the project work is to protect the distribution transformer or any other powertransformer, burning due to the overload, over temperature and input high voltage. Normally most of thetransformers are burning because of these three reasons; hence by incorporating this type of monitoringand control circuits, life of the transformer can be increased. In addition to the monitoring and control,information about these three parameters can be transmitted to the nearest electrical office where themaintenance staff of the electrical department can monitor the transformer continuously without goingnearer to the transformer. For this purpose, radio communication is utilized in this project work, so that,due to what reason the transformer has been failed, at what time, when the power is resumed etc., can bemonitored and this information can be stored in a computer at the receiving station. With the help of thiskind of system, the maintenance staff of the department can have a continuous vigilance over thetransformer.
