Abstract
Power transformers are one of the most important and expensive component s in an electrical power system. Transformer failure leads to power interruption, financial loss, and safety hazards. Traditional monitoring methods are manual and periodic, which cannot detect faults in real time. The IoT-Based Transformer Monitoring Syst em is designed to continuously monitor transformer operating parameters such as temperature, oil level, load current, and voltage using sensors. These parameters are processed by a microcontroller and transmitted to a cloud platform through IoT communicati on technologies like Wi-Fi or GSM. The system provides real-time monitoring, data logging, and automatic alert generation during abnormal conditions. This project improves transformer reliability, reduces maintenance cost, and supports smart grid infrastru cture.
