Abstract: Remote monitoring has been implemented in many areas. This paper introduces its specific application to a three-phase 10-kVA energy-efficient switchable distribution transformer. A designed embedded system and embedded Ethernet have been implemented to achieve a compact remote condition monitoring for the transformer. The embedded system performs acquisition of voltages, currents, and temperatures, controls the switching devices that connect the tappings of the transformer, and processes acquired data. Client and server applications were developed through the use of embedded Ethernet to enable remote monitoring through a local area network (LAN). Some protocols were developed as parts of software development of the whole system. Experimentation was done by applying the remote monitoring system to the transformer connected to three-phase variable supply voltage and load. Results of the experimentation by using a LAN available in the school revealed that the system can handle remote monitoring and control tasks for the transformer. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
