 ABSTRACT
 In Electrical power system load is varying continuously, so the power system has
been facing many problems. It is necessary to change the tap position of the
transformer depending upon the load.
 Conventional on load tap changer (OLTC) is being used since long time for any
momentary changes in load requirement. conventional tap changers uses
mechanical system for tap changing. Mechanical tap changer has some drawbacks,
like they takes more time for operation, mechanical losses, continues
maintenance and man power required.
 Also sometimes get stuck between two taps which leads to damage of whole
system, it affects the stability of the system. To eliminate the drawbacks of
mechanical tap changer, we implementing a system for transformer tapping to
change the tap position automatically.
 The implementing design of automatic tap changing system for the transformer
can be suitable in smart grid technology as an advance technology. This system
reduces man power and makes the tap changer system automatic.
 OBJECTIVE

Focused on designing a system for a

transformer, To change the tap position of the transformer
automatically depending upon the load to maintain the load
voltage constant and to reduce the man power.
 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OPERATION:
Automatic tap changing system by using a Arduino with relay module,
The Arduino with voltage sensor is used to sense the load voltage and to make
the decision of which relay will be operated to connect the load to the
particular tap position.
The system voltage maintained at constant value because of this
automatic tap changing system by adding the dropped amount of voltage to the
system.
Existing system of ON and OFF load tap changing:

Tap changer is a connection point

selection mechanism along a transformer winding which
allows a variable no of turn selected for obtaining output
voltage according to load condition.
