- 4. Transformers are vital in power systems but need protection due to overloading from rising electricity demands, leading to reduced efficiency and costly damage. This project prevents transformer failure by connecting an additional transformer in parallel via a microcontroller and relay to share excess load. Alternating their operation avoids overheating, while priority-based load shedding ensures uninterrupted power for critical facilities like hospitals and industries. INTRODUCTION
- 5. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this project is to protect transformers from overloaded conditions by effectively sharing the load between multiple transformers. It involves measuring the current and load in watts for both transformers to monitor their operating conditions. Additionally, the system continuously tracks the loading on each transformer to ensure balanced operation. It also calculates the percentage of overload to identify and prevent potential damage, ensuring efficient and safe functioning of the transformers.
- 6. COMPONENTS LIST : LCD I2C Display The LCD displays real-time information, such as the current load on each transformer and the percentage of overload. This allows users to monitor the system's performance conveniently. Arduino UNO The arduino UNO serves as the brain of the system. It processes data from current sensors to monitor the load on each transformer. Based on the load conditions, it activates relays to connect or disconnect the secondary transformer and ensures efficient load sharing Adaptor The adapter provides a stable DC power supply to the Arduino and other low-voltage components, converting A0C from the main supply to the required DC voltage level
- 7. Capacitor The capacitor smoothens voltage fluctuations from the sensors and power supply. This ensures stable operation of the Arduino and other components. Current Sensors Current sensors measure the load in amps or watts on both transformers. This data is sent to the Arduino, which uses it to monitor and calculate overload conditions. N4007 Diode These diodes prevent reverse current from flowing back into the circuit, protecting sensitive components like sensors and the Arduino. COMPONENTS LIST :
