Prototype of distribution transformer load reliability system based using visual basic interface

Abstract

Developing the operation and maintenance of distribution transformers is one of the services in keeping and maintaining the process of electricity distribution to customers run well. Services to meet the demand for electrical stability require improvement in determining transformer trouble points not proportional to the number of State Electricity Company officers available dealing with the measurement of the transformer peak load that keeps changing due to the large number of new customers or those adding electrical power load. The development of the constantly increased electrical power load cannot be monitored properly anymore, and there is not yet appropriate technology applied for monitoring it. Therefore a new device is required so as to function facilitating officers in the distribution transformer load monitoring across various places in real time 24 hours, and the data can also be retrieved in real time as desired. The output of this device is in the form of visual data. If the transformer is overloaded, it can be designed using a visual basic interface, and in the system there is a microcontroller able to provide information for the officers quickly, to reduce investment in purchasing new transformers.
