Transformer Oil Temperature Monitoring With Automatic Circuit Breaker

This project monitors transformer oil temperature and automatically activates circuit breakers and cooling fans if temperatures exceed safe levels. It has three main objectives: continuously reading oil temperature, sending SMS alerts when thresholds are exceeded, and displaying readings on an LCD screen. The system helps protect transformers, which are crucial for reliably transferring electrical power from generation to consumers but can overheat and fail if loads increase too much. When temperature rises above the set point, a relay cuts power to activate cooling fans to bring the transformer temperature back down.

Transformer oil temperature monitoring with Automatic circuit breaker

Operation
In the power system electrical energy is delivered to the consumer through transmission
networks from power houses this required a reliable system to transfer this power. As the
demand of load increases, short circuiting are some other fault occur in this system it
cause damage in whole system.

Objective
There are three main objectives of this project are:
Continuous oil temperature reading of transformer.
GSM message based alert
LCD display and monitoring.

Problem Statement
A day by increase of load increases the electricity demand and electricity cannot be
generated always near the load side. It required a safe place for away from population
when you generate electricity after it generation the major task is to transfer this energy
to the consumer side for this the problem arises is that it cannot be transfer from the
generating side to the consumer side in the same way on which it is generated because of
power losses i.e. I^2 R Losses. When you transfer it at low voltages grater current losses
will be occur. To reduce this losses you need to step down the current by increasing
voltage for this process transformer plays a vital role to step up or step down voltages so
transformer is the major component in electrical power system. For a reliable system of
power transfer from generating to the consumer side protection of transformer is required
because if the transformer fails to work or got damage the whole system on that path stop
working.
Transformer winding mostly burnt out when the demand of load increases because as the
load increases it will draw more current and this current passes through transformer if
this current exceed from the transformer rating. Transformer winding gets heat up and
more heat further can also damage transformer winding.

The project is based on idea that when the temperature of the transformer is normal then
all fans connected are off but when the temperature of the transformer rises from the
desire value the relay will cut off and fans start working for cooling the transformer.
Following block diagram show the working of the project.
