IMPLEMENTATION OF XBEE BASED TRANSFORMER MONITORING

Abstract

With developments in the countries like India, the electrical energy is used widely. With wide increase in the electrical load, the performance monitoring has become a crucial parameters. The transformer being the heart of any electrical system must be monitored for better performance. The performance of any electrical system may deteriorate due to the harmonics. As we know, the harmonics are generally generated due to the nonlinear inductive loads.  Authors have presented the monitoring system for the transformer in this paper. The implementation of the monitoring system is elaborated and the performance is studied by the authors. Voltage, oil level, temperature and current are the major factors to be monitored. The on-line montoring is key facility for improvement of any system.
