Abstract: Transformer has vital role in the emerging electric Power Systems and is the one of the main equipments in the Power System. So monitoring and maintaining their healthiness is very essential, by monitoring Transformers periodically and taking required action results in increase of life of Transformers and also we can avoid secondary damages, electrical/mechanical hazards to human beings working near Transformers. If any problem is found while periodical testing /monitoring we can go for a planned shutdown which can save huge Generation Loss due to failure of Transformers in case of Generating Station. In general failure of Transformer can cause non availability of Generation/Transmission/ distribution for some time. So it is very necessary to monitor and take suitable action whenever any abnormalities are found in Transformers else it leads to failure of equipment further affecting the Power System Stability.
