Electrical power theft detection and control system is used to detect the consumer when they try to use the power illegally. Electricity theft happens when the customer uses energy meter tampering such as placing a magnet near to energy meter, disconnecting the neutral line and shorting the phase coil of the current transformer.

Sep 17, 2020 · The Prepaid Energy meter is rechargeable like mobile phones and theft detection functionality will detect any theft easily. This project consists of an Energy meter with Arduino UNO as the main controller, GSM module, and other sensors. Using this meter one can easily pay his bill just by sending SMS.

May 29, 2023 · The main focus of this paper is to design a real-time power theft monitoring and detection system that is able to detect power theft in distribution systems. This proposed system utilizes smart meters consisting of an Arduino ATMega328P microcontrollers with GSM modules (Global System for Mobile Communication) used for system communication.

Jan 19, 2017 · The project demonstrated here is to show the mechanism of electricity anti-theft system. A pack of parallel connected bulbs is used as load while the programmable circuit operating the supply controlling relay is based on Arduino.

This project uses an Arduino to detect power theft by measuring the differential current between two channels. It displays the current readings and differential voltage on an LCD. If power theft is detected, it triggers a relay to disconnect the power and sounds an alarm using a buzzer.

This paper proposes the detection of energy theft using Arduino and GSM module. LCD is provided to display the data of power usage and also the power being theft i.e., the difference between the consumers load and the theft load which is sent to the GSM module.

May 23, 2023 · This paper presents the development of a cost effective electricity theft detection and prevention system using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

This paper suggests a method to monitor and keep a check over power theft using microcontroller Arduino and SMS module. Whenever there will be any disturbance in power or tampering of energy meter an alert message will be conveyed to the …

We can detect the theft of power more precisely. GSM modules can also be interfaced with the circuit to determine the exact location of the theft instead of just the street name.
