Description
Summary:The increasing demand for reliable and uninterrupted power supply necessitates the development of advanced monitoring systems for distribution transformers. This project focuses on the design and prototyping of an automatic device capable of detecting when a distribution transformer has gone off the grid. The system is designed to promptly identify power outages by continuously monitoring transformer status and automatically alerting maintenance personnel through a GSM-based communication system. This innovative approach aims to reduce downtime, improve response times, and ensure a more stable power distribution network. The device's ability to swiftly detect and report transformer failures can significantly enhance the efficiency of maintenance operations and minimize the impact of power disruptions on end-users.
