Detection of Fuse Blown in Distribution Transformer and Information Passing to System Using GSM

The main propose of this project is to make a system that automatically detect fuse blown of distribution transformer and inform the central station about the cusses of fuse blown using GSM module. The fuse blown of distribution transformer has three major reasons which are overloading, open circuit and short circuit. The fuse is blown due to overloading if the load (current) on the distribution transformer is exceeds then the maximum limit or safety limit. If the transmission line is damage or cutoff then there will be zero current which will cause fuse blown due to open circuit. When the intersection of transmission line is happened that causes the current will goes to infinity, so the fuse of distribution transformer will be blown due to short circuit. This project consist of two parts hardware and software. The main hardware components to design this circuit are current sensor, arduino micro-controller and GSM module. The software part include the coding of micro-controller using Embedded C-programming language. So this project can solve the problems of distribution system and increase the efficiency of distribution system maintenance.
