Introduction
• Transformers are a critical and expensive component of the power system.
• A power system is said to be faulty when an undesirable condition occurs in that power
system, where the undesirable condition might be short circuits, overcurrent,
overvoltage etc.
4
Introduction (Contd.,)
• Any unscheduled repair work, especially replacement of a faulty transformer, is
very expensive and time consuming.
• Protection against fault in power systems is very essential and vital for reliable
performance.
• The type of protection used should minimize the time of disconnection for
faults within the transformer and to reduce the risk of failure to simplify eventual
repair.

Literature Survey
It is an approach based on the use of transformer no load and light load current harmonic
analysis to detect the presence of an inter turn fault at the incipient stage. The presence of
fault is detected by performing a trend analysis, which is a special test for transformer
testing into an online method at light load conditions. Thus the necessity of complete
shutdown and dependency on expert opinion is eliminated.

Existing method (Contd.,)
• It is costliest method
• when the transformer tap changer is moved up and down with
respect to the middle point at which the relay is adjusted to, the
differential relay might initiate a trip signal without the presence of
any fault. This mal operation is caused by a spill current due to the
impact of On Load Tap Changer (OLTC).
12
Disadvantages of existing method (Contd.,)
• The pilot wires used may vary in length due to which the unbalance in
the secondary circuit parameter (resistance) is created that results in
improper scheme.
13
Proposed methodology
(Contd.,)
• Arduino is the main component in this circuit. The circuit diagram of
the
differential protection of transformer using arduino is shown.
• Here Arduino is used as a controlling device. Hall effect current sensor is used to
measure the current on the secondary side of the transformer and send the
corresponding voltage to the arduino.
• Under normal operating conditions these voltage will be less in magnitude and
difference is zero. So, the Arduino gives no signal to the relay.
• Whenever extra load or an internal fault occur in transformer the currents seen by
the hall effect differs by same amount.
• If this current increased more than the predefined value then it is termed
as abnormal condition.
15
Proposed methodology
(Contd.,)
• If the temperature also increases more than the predefined value it is also
considered as the abnormal condition.
• Arduino give a signal to the relay according predefined program. As and when the
relay is activated by the Arduino the relay will activates the triggering circuit.
• Arduino will give trip signal to the relay board and which is connected in series
with the supply will open its contacts thus the supply to the hardware setup will be
disconnected.
• Arduino will also send a message signal to GSM module as predefined in the
Arduino program.

• Primary can be designated with the less gauge wire with more number of turns
for carrying low current high voltage power.
• Secondary is designated with high gauge wire with less number of turns for carrying high
current low voltage power.

Components specifications (Contd.,)
LCD screen(LM016) :
• Arduino includes the liquid crystal library , which has a set of functions
that makes it very easy to interface with the parallel LCD that we are using.
• It has 8 data pins, register select pin, read/write pin, enable pin, 𝑠𝑣pin,
𝑠 𝑣𝑑𝑑
pin, vo pin, Anode , Cathode pin.
20
Components specifications (Contd.,)
Relay :
• The relay is an electrically controllable switch.
• It allows the isolation of two separate sections of a system with two different
voltage sources.
• The electro magnetic relays have three components: the coil, spring and contacts.
• When current flows through the coil, a magnetic field is created around the coil
(the coil is energized), which causes the armature to be attracted to the coil. The
armature’s contact acts like a switch and closes or opens the circuit.
21
Relay connection
Thermistor(LM35) :
• Thermistors, like RTDs, are thermally sensitive semiconductors whose resistance varies
with temperature.
• There are two types of thermistors negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors,
whose resistance decreases with increasing temperature, and positive temperature
coefficient (PTC) thermistors, whose resistance increases with increasing temperature.
• NTC’s can exhibit coefficients of -10 kΩ/°C or more. In comparison, a 100 Ω platinum
RTD has a sensitivity of only 0.4 Ω/°C. A small size of the thermistor bead also yields a
very fast response to temperature changes.
24
Temperature sensor connection(LM35DZ)
Arduino Mega:
• It is a combination of different electronic components on a single board.
• It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 13 can be used as PWM outputs).

Arduino mega 2560
Current sensor :
The ACS712-05B can measure current upto ±5A and provides output sensitivity
of 185mV/A, which means for every 1A increase in the current through the
conduction terminals in the positive direction , the output voltage also rises by
185mV.
30
Current sensor connection(ACS712)
• GSM digitizes and compresses data ,then sends it down a channel with other streams of user data ,
each in it’s own time slot.
• It is used to send sms to required number of phones by accepting inputs from the Arduino.
