Abstract

These features are important for effective power transmission and long life expectancy of industrial transformers. The monitoring and controlling of transformer are done by using microcontroller, GSM transmission is used for wireless communication, and sensors will check the level of oil in oil tank of the transformer. There are various transformer maintenance techniques, but these projects give real-time monitoring and controlling of transformer by using microcontroller. The design is to sense the feature of transformer and send them information regularly to the processor; the processor in turn will make the transmission through GSM MODEM to the client mobile. So, the model makes it possible to do real-time controlling and monitoring of oil in the transformer.
