Abstract
A system for distribution transformer monitoring may comprise a distribution transformer that includes a transformer fluid tank, a monitoring unit that includes a plurality of sensors, wherein the monitoring unit is coupled to the distribution transformer, and wherein the plurality of sensors comprises a fluid sensor that includes a sensor probe that extends out of the monitoring unit into the transformer fluid tank of the distribution transformer, and a communication unit coupled to the distribution transformer and communicatively coupled to the monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may further comprises a sensor module to receive sensor data from the plurality of sensors, a storage module to store the sensor data in an internal data storage device of the monitoring unit, an analysis module to analyze the sensor data to determine generated data, and a communication module to communicate the sensor data or the generated data to a remote computing device.
