AIM

 The aim of this project is to protect the transformer during overloading. It


will also have sensor to sense the Overload current of transformer and cut
off the extra load. Transformer Safety device are used to reducing the extra
load automatically, and transformer can be protected.
OBJECTIVE

Objective: - The major objectives of this project are: -


 To verify how transformer safety system work.
 Decide the feature require.
 To verify how system cut off the load.
 To verify how timer sensor work.
 To verify how device, protect the transformer from overload.
 To verify how transformer safety operation work.
 To verify how much load is sufficient for transformer and how much load
for cut off.
 To verify how much voltage is requiring to operate the timer sensor.
 To verify how transformer will supply power for operating load.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Power travels from the power plant to house through an amazing system called
the power distribution grid. For power to be useful in a home or business, it comes
off the transmission grid and is stepped-down to the distribution grid. This may
happen in several phases. The place where the conversion from "transmission" to
"distribution" occurs is in a power substation. It has transformers that step
transmission voltages (in the tens or hundreds of thousands of volts range) down to
distribution voltages (typically less than 10,000 volts). It has a "bus" that can split
the distribution power off in multiple directions. It often has circuit breakers and
switches so that the substation can be disconnected from the transmission grid or
separate distribution lines can be disconnected from the substation when necessary.
Transformer is the vital component in the electric power transmission and
distribution system. The problem of overloads, voltage variation and heating effects
is very common. It takes lot of time to its repair and also involves lot of expenditure.
This work is all about protecting the transformer under overload condition. Due to
overload the efficiency gets reduced and the secondary winding gets overheated or
it may be burnt. So, by reducing the extra load, the transformer can be protected.
This can be done by transformer safety sensor timer circuit through. When the load
exceeds the reference value, the transformer safety device automatically cut off the
extra load. Therefore, transformer safety device work efficiently under overload
condition and the damage can be prevented.

For home appliances, commercial and industrial loads, the transmitted voltage must
be steeped down to a distribution level. This may happen in several phases. In sub-
stations the voltage gets stepped down from transmission level (in the tens or
hundreds of thousands of volts range) to the distribution level (typically less than
10,000 volts). A sensor circuit is designed to log the data from master transformer
and if it is found to be in overload condition, immediately extra load will be
disconnected to transformer and the transformer safe and protected. Initially when
we switched ON the load that load will be running by transformer. Once load has
been increased on transformer above its rated capacity then safety device will
automatically cut off the load.
WORKING FUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM

Here, used Transformer 12V,750mA ,7805 three terminal voltage regulator is used
for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the AC output
of secondary of 230/12V step-down transformer. In this project we are using the 4
load (L-1, L-2, L-3, L-4), 3 load are connected in parallel through Transformer. And
last load also connected through transformer with the help of timer sensor circuit,
which will connect and disconnect the load by sensing the current. And we are using
the 4 switch (S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4) which will connect in series with each load and we
are using R-1 resistor for protection of 3mm LED Light load.

Transformer is a stepdown transformer and we called main transformer,


transformer has its own load handling capacity. (750Ma) In case of a normal
operation the transformer takes the load but as the load is beyond the rated capacity
of main transformer, then extra load is disconnected automatically and protect the
transformer.

Load switching network is provided to ON/OFF the load on the transformers which
is connected to load bank. we are using the 4 switch for each load. Over current
(750mA) and voltage(12V) set in the sensor circuit.

As we keep the switch S1 ON Then the load L1 Will be on and 188 mA current will
flow through transformer. And switch S2 ON then load L2 Will be on and 376 mA
current will flow through the transformer and we will on the S3 Switch the load L3
will be on and 564 mA current will flow through the transformer, then we will on
the last load L4 then current will increase the maximum set value of sensor circuit
that time sensor will disconnect the extra load L4 with in 5sec. and transformer will
be safe condition.

TRANSFORMER

A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between


two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic
induction produces an electromotive force within a conductor which is
exposed to time varying magnetic fields. Transformers are used to increase or

particularly during the peak hours there is a need for the operation of
additional transformer to supply the additional load requirement. Our

there is no need to operate extra transformers under normal loads,
particularly during off peak hours.
