Abstract

Transformers are the essential equipment in the power system. Therefore, the continuity of its operation could be very necessary. Differential safety approach may be hired to protect the Transformers. We have used differential relay mechanism with Arduino Nano & NodeMCU for IoT based Android App monitoring as well as local monitoring through I2C LCD. The NodeMCU is synchronized with Arduino microcontroller. Arduino Microcontroller is very high speed and cost-effective device with good accuracy. By programming in the Arduino, the protection of transformers may be done. Differential protection is employed for protection of transformer and that is done using Arduino as brains, the current sensor measure current entering and leaving the transformer and Arduino decide when to disconnect transformer according to ratio distinction and average of current.
