In a parallel operation the transformers are directly connected to each other. The load in shared depending on the actual impedance of the individual transformers. In other words the transformer with the lowest impedance will absorb the largest load and be the first to burn out. Automatic load sharing is when the transformers are isolated from each other and a computer monitors and makes the decision which transformer will handle how much of the total load.

Power Sharing of Transformers with overload protection Tripping and WAP

This project is concerned with the design and fabrication of a hardware that will monitor the performance of the load sharing process by taking power consumed by the load into consideration. This power is displayed on the monitor with the aid of suitable software.

The operation of transformers in parallel becomes necessary because If the amount to be transformed is greater than which can be handled by one transformer! it becomes necessary to employ two or more units in parallel. To meet the additional demand or a power system it becomes necessary to replace the e"isting unit by unit of greater capacity or to install the additional

unit to carry a portion of the load. The cost of making such changes will in many cases be greater than if the original transformer is connected in parallel with another to carry a portion of the load. $ence in this project %Power Sharing of Transformers& paralleling of transformers become necessary. In case of deviations from the normal values! suitable control actions can be implemented to ensure reliable operation of relays. So the transformers are connected in parallel to share the load. It also has a Thermistor to monitor the temperature of the transformer! and a 'lame Sensor to detect the Flame! and an Intruder Sensor to detect intruder and the transformer will be tripped if any of the above is sensed. Also we have Recycling Time, which will monitor the load! and disconnects the unwanted transformer from sharing.
