Abstract –Transformer is one of the important electrical equipment that is used everywhere. Monitoring transformer’s health had become a fiery task. Since incase of any damaged in the internal properties of the transformer will result in huge drawback. So, it is mandatory to regularly keep an eye of the transformer.  The main objective of this proposal is to acquire live data of transformer health remotely over the internet using Internet of Things (IOT) technology. We are going to monitor the transformer parameter such as temperature, current and voltage. The transformer will be having a problem such as increasing in temperature and make a lot of noise. Typical transformer measurement system will take time for testing and less accurate. The aim of this project is to design the IoT system for monitoring and evaluate the performance of the transformer current, sound and temperature. The Arduino microcontroller is used by the system to collect data and send it to a cloud-based server. A variety of sensors are used to gather vital indicators of transformer health, such as temperature, oil level, and current. A web-based interface is used to evaluate and visualize the gathered data, giving remote access to the transformer's status. In order to improve the longevity and dependability of power distribution networks, this Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring system provides an economical and effective means of proactive maintenance and early identification of any defects in distribution transformers
