Al-Based Smart Transformer Monitoring and Fault Detection System with 3D Wire Visualization and Automatic Power Cut - Off

This paper set out to close the gap between a transformer fault occurring and someone actually doing something about it, and the results suggest that combining continuous AI-based monitoring with automatic power isolation is a workable way to do that. Overload, overheating, and wire-cut conditions are caught early, power is cut before the situation turns dangerous, and the EB cell knows exactly where to send a team rather than searching for the problem. The 3D dashboard turned out to be more than a visual add-on — for a team monitoring dozens or hundreds of lines, a quick glance at red versus green is far more usable than scrolling through a log of alerts. Looking ahead, tying this into a city-wide SCADA system and using the accumulated sensor history for predictive maintenance scheduling seem like the natural next steps.
