Transformer Health Monitoring System

Abstract

Transformers, pivotal components in power transmission systems for maintaining voltage regulation, demand unwavering reliability. Yet, their widespread deployment poses challenges in routine monitoring, particularly when resources are limited. This challenge can lead to unexpected power disruptions stemming from transformer failures. In response, the Transformer Health Monitoring System has been developed to provide real-time monitoring of critical transformer parameters, such as voltage, current, and temperature, leveraging the ESP Now protocol for wireless data transmission. This continuous monitoring serves as an early warning system, enabling the detection of potential faults before they escalate into serious failures. The system excels in identifying common transformer faults, including overloads, over/under voltage incidents, temperature irregularities, and more. This proactive approach not only enhances the reliability and longevity of transformers but also facilitates timely interventions and maintenance, ensuring the seamless operation of power distribution systems.
