Kerobokan feeder supply electrical energy in the area of Kerobokan. This feeder supplies 67 distribution transformers that serve a variety of customers with nonlinier electrical loads. Nonlinier electrical loads cause harmonics which adversely affect customers and power system equipment, especially distribution transformers. In Kerobokan feeder, only 3 (4.5%) of the 67 transformers has THDi content that according with the IEEE 519-2014 standard and 64 (95.5%) of the 67 transformers has a high THDi content and exceed the IEEE 519-2014 standard. For this reason, the power losses, efficiency, and work capacity of the transformer are analyzed due to the effect of THDi. This study uses a direct measurement method in all transformers in the Kerobokan feeder and simulation on the ETAP Powerstation program. The results of the analysis showed that total power losses without being affected by THDi for all transformers were 49.4 kW and after being affected by THDi were 591.71 kW. The highest THDi content is in the KA 0992 transformer is 24.8% which results in an increased in power losses is 12.02 kW or 12.02% of its capacity and a decreased in efficiency is 12.66% and has a decreased in work capacity is 19.9%. While the smallest THDi content is found in the DB 449 transformer is 6.8% which results in an increased in power losses is 2.2 kW or 0.88% of its capacity and a decreased efficiency is 1.01% and has a decreased in work capacity is 2.7%.

The diagnostic measurement and tests of transformers are essential. Also, the costs of diagnostic tests are considerable. Hence, proposing a method to determine an economic-technical sequence-bases set of diagnostic tests for transformers is useful and interesting. In this paper, a new method is proposed to determine the optimal sequence-based set of diagnostic tests for distribution transformers. A new objective function based on the branch and bound concept is developed in this paper. The proposed optimization problem is solved by using the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The statistical data regarding the experimental diagnostic tests for more than 20 distribution transformers of South-West Power System Company (Pivdenno-Zakhidna Power System) located in Ukraine have been used. The usage of the actual statistical data of distribution transformers is one of the most important contributions of this paper. The comparison of the obtained optimum test results and those of a typical conventional non-optimum sequence of diagnostic tests illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. By applying the proposed method, it is achievable to perform the comprehensive diagnostic tests with the minimum required costs.

This paper incorporates power transmission and distribution system with usually one major control system which enables the system to supply electricity. In this paper an attempt is made to solve the problems occurring in transmission and distribution system such as over loading of ‘Distribution transformers’, losses in Transmission and Distribution system, getting low voltage at end consumer who is far away from the distribution transformer, we then present our approach to an efficient and healthy power system. And this offers a healthy and efficient Transmission and Distribution system compared to existing one.


In power system transmission and distribution transformers plays crucial role. As per the consumer requirement the transformers either step up or step down voltages and deliver the power. Sometimes they are operating under overload conditions. In this paper, Microcontroller and different types of sensors can be used to protect the transformer against over load and various internal faults. Real time monitoring of the transformer is also an important part in the transformers protection. A prototype hardware module has designed to sense the temperature raise and pressure in the transformer tank using micro controller based sensors. The monitoring and protection can avoid various faults in the transformer and it can give better performance.
