Abstract
The load monitoring and protection of distribution transformers are vital element of the power distribution infrastructure, they should be observed habitually to keep any potential shortcomings. Failure in transformer can without much of a stretch expense from a few thousands to lakhs of rupees to either repair or supplant, and will likewise bring about a loss of service to client's until the manifestations is discovered and repaired. This paper work portrays the mechanization of the transformer utilizing ARM 7 microcontroller. Different parameters for example, temperature, current, and voltage, oil level of the transformer, over load and short circuit conditions are observed. Indeed, even the sparkle around the transformer will be identified. The power line modem uses the power line cable as communication medium. All the information will be correspondence through the existing PLC (Power Line Communication) which provides a communicating medium. In case of any abnormal condition the buzzer will beep indicating faulty condition and causes the microcontroller to trip the relay and disconnect the load automatically. Consequently the transformer is shielded from serious harm and makes the distribution more strong, solid, and precise and spares enormous economic misfortunes. This framework can supplant existing physically checking of the transformer. In this paper Keil µvision4 software is used to code the microcontroller for controlling and monitoring the system.
