Power theft, also known as the unlawful act of stealing electrical energy, encompasses a range of illegal actions, such as tampering with meters, unauthorized connections, billing discrepancies, and unpaid bills. With advancements in electronic meters, tampering and magnetic locking have become virtually impossible. Consequently, the most common types of power theft today involve direct hooking from the power line, physical obstructions, and bypassing the energy meter. Power consumer dishonesty is a critical issue faced by utilities, and to combat this, the government of India has implemented the use of smart meters. The identification of effective methods for detecting fraudulent electricity consumption has been a significant area of research in recent years. In this power theft detection project, the focus is on detecting and bringing attention to unauthorized power consumption in order to safeguard the efficient use of power resources.
Keywords: Power theft, meter tampering, microcontroller, amplifier, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)
