To design & fabrication of a hardware which will

monitor the performance of the load sharing process by

taking power consumed by the load into consideration.

To protect the power transformer from over load power.

o The transformer cannot supply load more than its rated capacity.
o So, by introducing another transformer, reduces the load on the transformers.
o load sharing of transformer is possible with this scheme so life of the transformer is increased.
o Here 2 transformers are connected through a relay.

 Load is directly connected to secondary of the main

transformer as well as slave transformer.
A sensor circuit is used to log data from the main
transformer .
If sensor found the overvoltage condition, immediately
the slave transformer will be connected in parallel to
the main transformer & the load is shared.

 Transformers
o

Transformer is a static device which consist of two or more stationary electric

circuit interlinked by a common magnetic circuit for the purpose of transferring
electrical energy between them.

o The transfer of energy from one circuit to another takes place without change in
frequency.
o

Here we are using 2 transformer- main & slave

transformers.
Rating of both the transformers- 230/12v & 3A.

o Both transformers of same rating are connected in

parallel through a relay.

 Comparator-

LM324 is used as a comparator.

It is used to compare load with the standard load
capacity of a transformer.
When the load capacity exceeds the capacity of
load it give signal to relay to switch on the slave
transformer in parallel to the main transformer.

Relayo A relay is an electrically operated switch.

o Relays allow one circuit to switch a
second circuit which can be completely
separate from the first.
o In this we are using electromagnetic relay
consists of a multi-turn coil, wound on an
iron core, to form electromagnet. When
the coil is energised, by passing current
through it, the core becomes temporarily
magnetised. The magnetised core attracts
the iron armature.

Load Bank-

o Assume that we are using set bulbs as a load,

connected at the secondary of a transformers.
Transformer rating is= 12VX 3A
= 36 VA or

watt
Load capacity(rating) = >36watt ~ 3- 10watt
bulbs & 1- 2 watt

1. Automated load sharing of transformers.

destroying or malfunctioning.

3. Over heating of transformer secondary is

prevented by this.
4. Highly sensitive.
5. Low cost and reliable system

1. Power generation & distribution

system.
