Abstract

This work shows the development of a module that performs measurements of electrical variables in a low voltage power transformer. These variables are sent by means of the IEEE802.11 standard, connecting to a database stored in the cloud; associating with the meter IoT concepts, this to allow a client to perform an analysis, monitoring and management of their electrical network. For the construction of this module, non-invasive current sensors connected to a three-phase meter are used and a communication card is used that allows data to be extracted from the meter and sent to the cloud database. This module, to convert a conventional electrical power transformer into a smart electrical power transformer, making it a Smart Object and thus extract information from it telemetrically in real time.
