Distribution transformers are one of the most important equipment in power network. Because of, the large number of transformer distributed over a wide area in power electric system, the data acquisition and condition monitoring is a important issue. To monitor this operator has to visit to transformer location itself. The main aim of this system is to monitoring the distribution transformer parameter like load current, voltage, oil level and oil temperature using IOT. So using this it can

Sensors are used to sense the main parameters of equipment such as voltage, current, temperature and oil level, this sensed data is sent to ESP 32 microcontroller. ESP 32 is a series of low cost, low power on a chip microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi and dual mode Bluetooth. So, there is no need to connect Wi-Fi module externally, hence size of project is also small. This controller checks parameter limits which further send to the IOT web server Blynk software using Wi-Fi module of these data makes sure the right information is in hand to the operator and operator can make useful decisions before any catastrophic failure on basis of that data of parameters.
