Abstract
Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of an automatic load-sharing system for transformers using a microcontroller to enhance the transformer reliability in power distribution systems. In modern power grids, transformer overloads are a significant concern because they can lead to increased maintenance costs, damage to equipment, and even power outages. This project addresses this issue by introducing an intelligent system that dynamically distributes loads across two transformers based on real-time data, ensuring optimal performance and an extended transformer lifespan. The microcontroller-based system integrates key features, such as overcurrent protection, underover voltage detection, and thermal sensors to prevent overload situations. The system monitors the electrical parameters and controls relays or circuit breakers to automatically adjust the load between transformers and safeguard the system from failure. By employing this approach, the automatic load-sharing system provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to ensure an uninterrupted power supply and to prevent transformer damage. This advancement is a step toward smart power distribution in modern electrical grids and industrial applications.Keywords: Load Sharing, Transformers, Microcontroller, Protection System, Overload Prevention, Smart Grid, Automation.
