        abstract = {Power transformers play a vital role in electrical power distribution systems, and any unexpected failure can lead to serious power interruptions and increased maintenance costs. Continuous monitoring of transformer operating conditions is therefore essential to ensure reliability and efficient performance. This paper presents the design and implementation of a GSM-based remote transformer health monitoring system using an Arduino Uno. The proposed system focuses on monitoring transformer load conditions through a sensor-based input, where variations are continuously observed and processed by the microcontroller. The measured parameters are displayed in real time on an I2C-based LCD module for local monitoring. In the event of abnormal conditions such as overload, the system generates immediate alerts through a buzzer and sends notification messages to authorized users via a GSM module. This enables quick response and preventive action to avoid potential damage.The developed system is simple, cost-effective, and suitable for real-time applications. It enhances the reliability of transformer operation by enabling early fault detection and remote monitoring. The proposed approach can be further extended for smart grid applications by integrating advanced communication and data analysis techniques.},
