Abstract
In order to guarantee the secure and effective functioning of power transformers in electrical networks, Electro Vital Transformer Supervisor is a crucial system. Power transmission and distribution depend heavily on transforme rs, and any malfunction in these systems might result in major power outages, monetary losses, and safety hazardsIn order to continually monitor crucial indicators like temperature, oil level, and other potential defects, this project develops a straightfo rward and affordable monitoring system at the diploma level. Early defect identification is essential to prevent unplanned breakdowns and lower maintenance costs since transformers are costl y and vital equipment.The primary goal of the suggested system is to employ temperature sensors, such as thermistors or digital temperature sensors, to monitor the temperature of the transformer windi ng and insulating oil. Overloading, deteriorating insulation, or cooling system failure can all result in a temperature in crease over the acceptable limit. Excessive heat can seriously harm the transformer winding and shorten its lifespan if it is not noticed in time. As a result, ongoing temperature monitoring is essential to preserving transformer health and guaranteeing se cure operation under various load scenarios.
