Abstract: As it transforms high voltages into low voltages for consumption, the distribution transformer is the most crucial part of the power distribution system. If it functions in rated and favourable settings, it can function effectively and for a long time. But, because of excessive current and undesirable conditions, their life was considerably decreased, and the system would experience unexpected breakdowns. Overloading and overheating are the two main causes of distribution transformer failure. The purpose of this project is to develop a microcontroller-based system for distribution transformer safety and online monitoring.The system enables us to keep track of the oil temperature, shows the fault status, and transmits the input to the GSM module and automatic circuit breaker, which then delivers the data to the control department through SMS alert. At certain time intervals, it monitors the oil level. It automatically disconnects the distribution transformer from the distribution line if it rises or falls above the normal operating level. Many operational issues can be identified before to any catastrophic breakdown, and this will help the transformer have a long service life. Additionally, it benefits from being more reliable and cost-effective.
