Xbee Transformer/Generator Health Monitor Project
Our proposed project aims at remotely getting the information on
distribution transformers using a GSM modem or Xbee. This application
requires a temperature sensor, three potential transformers along with
three current transformers. They work together to monitor three
parameters of a generator/transformer and send this data to remote
location.
Three analog values are obtained through multiplexing in connection to a
programmable 8051 family MC. It is connected through an ADC 0808 IC.
All of the monitored sensor values are then sent in a sequential order
according to the multiplexing frequency obtained from ADC by the
microcontroller. It sends these parameters to the XBEE module that
operates at 2.GHz in order to send over the data.
A microcontroller interfaced system is used as a receiver that is used
to receive the real time data along with error signals transmitted for
desired relay required for displaying output on an LCD display.
A step down transformer (230/12V) that is used to step down the
transformer voltage to 12V is used with power supply. A bridge rectifier
is then used in order to convert it to DC. A 7805 voltage regulator is
then used to regulate it to +5 V that is required for the MC operation.
