Abstract:

The transformer is a very bulky and costly equipment of electrical power system that steps up/down the level of power of the system. The transformer operates throughout the day in the supply system which makes it one of the most important part of the electrical power system. Many of the times the condition occurs in the system when the load on the transformer fluctuates outside the normal operating range which may lead to the overload condition and damage of the insulation of windings resulting the failure in operation of the transformer, thus causing interruption of the supply. One of the main reasons of overloading is the improper load sharing of the transformers. One of the best solutions to avoid the overloading is to operate the number of transformers in parallel. It is same like parallel operation of transformers where the number of transformers shares the system load. The transformers work efficiently and thus damage is prevented. The outcome of this project is based on reliable power supply and safety of transformer. By implementation of this scheme, the problem of interruption of supply due to transformer overloading or overheating can be avoided.
