Automatic load sharing of distribution transformer for overload protection

OBJECTIVE: Load sharing provides sufficient protection to distribution transformer under overloaded conditions. Due to overload on transformer, the efficiency drops and windings get overheated and may burn. By sharing a load current on transformer for each phase the transformer was protected. Therefore, the objective of this study was to protect transformers from overloaded conditions by sharing the load. RESULT: The system automatically connects and disconnects switch to share the transformer loads. The controller was managed the load according to rules.
