GSM Based Load Monitoring Of Transformer

                  


Abstract: This project is developed with the aim of monitoring of the load of remotely located transformer. This project also have feature to shift the access load to the stand by transformer, if the load increases. Another feature of our project is that we get the SMS upon the switching of the load from one transformer to another. For this we have use GSM MODEM and interfaced with our controller unit. The project also have serial ADC, 8051 based controller board, real board, relay driver, transformer, GSM MODEM, Power supply.



Working: The working of the project can be describe in the following steps-
·        There are two transformers, one is main transformer and another is stand by. The load is connected to main transformer via a relay control board.
·        The current to load is sensed by a current sensor circuit. This circuit compromises with current transformer.
·        Now the output of the current sensor is given to the serial ADC circuit, which converts the analog input to digital value.
·        This digital value is given to 8051 based controller unit, which captures the value of the ADC. The 8051 is programmed with suitable code which regularly checks the current value.
·        If the value is increased with the pre define threshold value, the 8051 based board energized the relay board and shift the increased load to the standby transformer.
·        At a same time the 8051 also sends the at command to the GSM MODEM, to send SMS to the site engineer to inform the status of the load on the transformer.
