Condition and Monitoring of Distribution Transformer using Thermal Imager

Abstract

Globally, uninterrupted electrical supply is required for smooth running of industries and day to day life activity. Because of the few minutes of outages causes huge revenue loss, poor quality and major accidents. To prevent these phenomena, a continuing condition and monitoring technique is required. In this paper, we propose a method to assess the state of the machine without interjecting the production or service. This is achieved by thermal imager. It is capturing the thermal image of the electrical machines which is used to access the state of the machine. According to the color of thermal image of the machine we can easily find weather machine is working satisfactory or not. Also, before going to burn out or damage we can make a preventive based maintenance very easy manner. The paper we conducting condition monitoring of transformer by using thermal imager. From the case study we can found that thermal imager is best tool for asses the transformer status very effective manner.
