Advanced Monitoring for Auxiliary Transformer Failures and Alerting System

Auxiliary transformers are critical components in power distribution systems, and their failure can lead to costly downtime and potential damage to electrical infrastructure. This paper proposes the development of a real-time alert system will be designed to monitor auxiliary transformer health and promptly detect anomalies and failures. The development of a transformer health monitoring system involves the utilization of Arduino-based embedded systems to interface with temperature, ultrasonic, and current sensors. The system aims to monitor essential parameters such as temperature, oil level, and current values. In case of abnormalities, it triggers immediate alerts through GSM messaging and implements protective measures by controlling the load using relays and a buzzer for audible alerts.
