Abstract- Transformers are underlying and necessary consJtuent of Electrical distribuJon and transmission system. Examining of electrical transformers for fault occurrence can prevent costly overhaul interrupJon of smooth power supply. They are very expensive block of electricity distribuJon system as a result cost of power outage is also high. So as to ensure the safety and reliability of power operaJon of transformer, this paper studies the on-line monitoring and fault recogniJon technology of intelligent power transformer based on the "Internet”. This project mainly completes the hardware and soWware design of the intelligent measurement and control terminal for on-line monitoring of state parameters, which includes transformer voltage, current, oil temperature.
1. INTRODUCTION
Transformers have an important role to play by delivering
reliable power supply to shape up the smart cities.
Important reasons for the failure of distribution
transformers includes low oil level in the transformer,
overloading, unbalance loading, overheating of transformer
oil, defective breather and consequent ingress of moisture.
The main aim of, to develop these system is, to monitoring
the real status of the transformer, and also to reduce cost,
efficiency and improve services to customers. To reduce the
risk of unexpected failures and the ensuring unscheduled
outage, online monitoring has become the common practice
to assess the condition of the transformer and stable
operation is important.
2. PROPOSED SYSTEM
By implementing the IOT , the smart system will replace
the manpower position. Our proposed system consists of
various sensors such as Voltage sensor, Current sensor and
temperature sensor and an oil level sensor for monitoring
various parameters of a transformer All of the parameter
changes will be notified with the help of IOT using Blynk
App. An alarm will be ON if any changes occurs. Here we
have used current and voltage sensors to monitor voltage
and current parameter changes.
We use a Arduino UNO to share all the information to the
required person The Arduino Mega is a microcontroller
board based on the ATmega1280 datasheet. It has 54
digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM
outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports),
a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack,
an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything
needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to
a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC
adapter or battery to get started. The Arduino Mega can be
powered via the USB connection or with an external power
supply. The power source is selected automatically

4.1 HARDWARE USED FOR THE PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
• Power Supply
• ATmega328
• Current sensor
• Voltage sensor
• Oil level sensor
• Temperature sensor
• Relay module
4.1.1 POWER SUPPLY
VIN: The input voltage to the Arduino board when it is using
an external source (as opposed to 5 Volts from the USB
connection or other regulated power source). You can
supply voltage through this pin or if supplying voltage via the
power jack, access it through this pin.
5V: The regulated power supply used to power the
microcontroller and other components on the board. This
can come either from VIN via an on-board regulator, or be
supplied by USB or another regulated 5V supply.
3V: A 3.3 Volt supply generated by the on-board FTDI chip.
Maximum current draw is 50 mA.
GND: Ground pins.
4.1.2 ATmega328
The Atmega280 has 128 KB of flash memory for storing
code (of which 4 KB is used for the boot loader), 8 KB of
SRAM and 4 KB of EEPROM (which can be read and written
with the EEPROM library). Each of the 54 digital pins on the
Mega can be used as an input or output, using pinMode (),
digitalWrite () and digitalRead () functions

4.1.3 CURRENT SENSOR
A current sensor is a device that detects electric current (AC
or DC) in a wire, and generates a signal proportional to it.
The generated signal could be analog voltage or current or
even digital output. It can be then utilized to display the
measured current in an ammeter or can be stored for
further analysis in a data acquisition system or can be
utilized for control purpose.

4.1.4 VOLTAGE SENSOR
Ideal for circumstances where power quality is an issue
Voltage sensors encourage checking of supply voltage levels.
They recognize under voltage or overvoltage concerns and
help ensure basic engines and gadgets. Since they have an
industry-standard 4–20 mA yield they are handily coupled to
an information lumberjack board meter or PLC for ongoing
observing and detailing.

4.1.5 OIL LEVEL SENSOR
Oil level sensors measure the oil content in transformer.
An oil level sensor probe is made up of multiple oil sensors
Oil level sensors work constant manner that ancient float
switches work, aside from they work with oil rather than
water. Oil level sensors use magnetic reed switches that are
hermitically sealed in a very stainless steel or plastic stem, to
find oil levels and mechanically activate or off oil pumps.
The read switch moves up and down the stem to open or
break circuits (turn on or off oil pumps) in keeping with oil
levels rising and falling. Once the oil within the tank reaches
its lowest predicted point (closed position) the reed switch
can produce a circuit and mechanically send a symptom to
your pump to begin filling your tank up with oil once more.
The magnetic reed switch can then open the circuit
copy once more (open position) once the oil level has
reached most fill capacity.

4.1.6 TEMPERATURE SENSOR (LM35)
The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature
sensors, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the
Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. The
LM35 thus has an advantage over linear temperature
sensors calibrated in Kelvin, as the user is not required to
subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain
convenient Centigrade scaling.

4.1.7 RELAY MODULE
A relay is an electromagnetic switch that's
accustomed to activate and switch off a circuit by an
occasional power signal, or wherever many circuits should
be controlled by one signal.
The main operation of a relay comes in places wherever
solely a low-power signal are often accustomed
management a circuit. it's additionally employed in places
wherever just one signal are often accustomed management
a great deal of circuits.
Relays have the precise operating of a switch. A relay is
alleged to modify one or a lot of poles. Every pole has
contacts that may be thrown in principally 3 ways. They are
• Normally Open Contact (NO) – NO contact is additionally
known as a build contact. It closes the circuit once the relay
is activated. It disconnects the circuit once the relay is
inactive.
• Normally Closed Contact (NC) – NC contact is additionally
referred to as break contact. this can be opposite to the NO
contact. Once the relay is activated, the circuit disconnects.
Once the relay is deactivated, the circuit connects.
• Change-over (CO) / Double-throw (DT) Contacts – this kind
of contacts are accustomed management 2 styles of circuits.
they're accustomed management a NO contact and
additionally a NC contact with a standard terminal consistent
with their kind they're known as by the names break before
build and build before break contacts.

7. CONCLUSIONS
The IOT wireless open typical technology is being designated
in this paper as the energy management and efficiency
technology of choice. Employing the system for real time
monitoring of power line with an open standard such as IOT
helps to keep costs down and condensed power
consumption. We can observe from this project that sensors
can be employed for monitoring of different parameter of
the transformer. It can be concluded that our model showing
results on internet. Using IOT for monitoring different
parameter of distribution transformer, human labor will be
minimized. With the use of IOT our power system would
become more accurate and reliable. In this project a
conceptual framework for intelligent power distribution
transformers is proposed. With a rapid urbanization and
industrialization, there is a high demand for uninterrupted
power supply. Frequent failures of transformers will lead to
interruptions in power supply and also generates big
revenue loss to power distributors. The present
transformers’ health monitoring systems mainly use IoT

technology.
8. FUTURE SCOPE
When we combine IoT with AI it will more effective and IoT
devices will take decision on their own. The combo of AI and
IoT devices makes the IoT devices in the transformer to
analyze data locally, predicts the malfunctioning of
transformer and fix the transformers and power supply
before they break, which save from disasters that will occur.
Since this proposal is only a conceptual one, implementation
of this approach in a real environment is left for feature.
