description Electrical systems are deeply ingrained in most industrial facilities, their maintenance is increasingly becoming a critical and significant component of economic policy. Condition monitoring of electrical transformers is essential for improving their dependability and availability, averting costly maintenance and additional significant breakdowns. This research adopts the approach based on infrared thermography techniques (IRT) to keep eye on electrical transformers and detect their defects. Thermal images of the transformer were captured at two distinct operating states with an infrared camera. These images were then compiled into a dataset for further analysis. This method uses infrared imaging (IRT), along with feature analysis and machine learning, to identify issues in electrical transformers in a new way. To find the best performing machine learning model, different techniques are compared here in terms of their accuracy and stability. Two approaches are investigated for identifying features in thermography images. Approach-1 employed five common machine learning algorithms, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Logistic Regression (LR), and Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM). Approach-2 utilized four deep learning techniques, such as MobileNetV2 (MNV2), InceptionV3 (InV3), DenseNet121(DN121), and our proposed modified VGG-16. Among all evaluated methods, the modified VGG-16 architecture achieved the highest level of dependability, demonstrating exceptional efficiency and accuracy in transformer condition monitoring and fault diagnosis.
