    Arduino Based Automatic Load Sharing of Transformer: (Parallel Operation)

    Uploaded by

    Yashraj Deept
    This document proposes a project to automatically share load between a main transformer and standby transformer using an Arduino microcontroller. A current transformer continuously monitors the load current and feeds this data to the Arduino. When load exceeds a preset reference value, the Arduino energizes a relay to connect the standby transformer in parallel to help share the load. This prevents overloading of the main transformer and ensures an uninterrupted power supply while efficiently utilizing both transformer capacities. The system was tested with a small prototype unit operating two transformers in parallel automatically via a microcontroller circuit.

    AIM:

    The main aim of the project is to protect the transformer under overload condition by sharing load with
    a standby transformer and to provide un-interrupted power supply to the consumers.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Transformer is basically a static device which transfers the electrical power from one circuit to another
    circuit with desired change in voltage and current at constant frequency. It is only one device which
    operates at highest efficiency at full load condition. But abnormal condition occurs at overloading
    condition which may result in severe problem in future. To avoid such condition we are using other
    standby transformer which supplies the load when overloading occurs on main transformer unit, which
    switch on automatically by Arduino Microcontroller. This will result in efficient loading of both
    transformers. Also when load is normal both transformers can manage the load efficiently. This will avoid
    the thermal overloading of transformer. Also this arrangement will provide proper maintenance facility
    for both transformers.

    OPERATION:

    In the proposed system, only one transformer is operating to feed the loads. A standby transformer is
    connected in parallel through a circuit breaker and relay. The current transformer continuously measures
    the load current and feeds it to the Arduino. The reference value or the maximum load limit is entered by
    the user and priority level of the load is also set by the user or concern authority. As the load demand
    increase during peak hours, a single transformer would not be able feed all the load. During this condition,
    when the load demand exceeds the reference value, the Arduino will give a control signal to energize the
    relay coil. Thus the stand by transformer will be connected in parallel and share the load equally. Since
    the transformers are of the same ratings. Thus all the loads are fed efficiently providing un-interrupted
    power supply.

    CONCLUSION:

    Thus, we conclude that this system of auto load sharing will improve system efficiency, increase reliability
    and will reduce manual interference. The “Arduino Based Automatic Load Sharing Of Transformer” small
    prototype unit operates two transformers in parallel to share the load automatically with the help of
    change over relay and microcontroller circuit. It protects from overloading and overheating thus providing
    un-interrupted power supply to the customer.
