c~ Powor Thoin Blectromechanical Mtge Power Theft in Electromechanical and Electronic Meter (2 Marks Questions) 2,1. What do you mean by limit switch ? AKTU 201 A limit switch is an electromechanical device that consists of an ‘actuator mechanically linked to a set of contacts. When an object comes into contact with the actuator, the device operates the contacts to make or break an electrical connection. 22, How power theft can be done by bypassing the meter ? ‘HK In Fig. 2.2.1, the incoming phase line from the utility service system marked as (1) is connected to the outgoing phase marked as (2), making a less amount of current to pass through the meter and hence less reading will be measured. How power theft by bypassing the meter can be prevented? The slots for tho incoming and outgoing dosigne o o wires should be 80 TA it adequate to the size of cable or wires, itgoing wires Jugs, it becomes are fixed to the moter using banan® joined with the P°Mble for any other wiron to bo additional” ee Scanned with CamScannerower Theft & 24 energy Management (2 Marks) SQ-7D (EN-Sem-8) Ifthe terminal cover is sealed properly, this type of power theft can avoided. Which materials are inserted in the meter for power theft? of celluloid films, plastic wires, dry leaves, tongue cleaner, Strips of ce piece of sticks, etc., are commonly used to arrest tl vement of the meter disc. How power theft is done by insertion of film into the meter ? Ifthe consumer manages to insert any material between the cover and the body of the meter or between the meter cover and front side glass, it will touch the disc and may prevent its free movement and thus slow down registering of consumption. How power theft of insertion of film is detected ? The presence of a foreign material is a valuable evidence for establishing power theft. Moreover, there will be bruises and marks on the rotating disc, indicating its frequent stoppage. The side cover, sides of front glass, ete., through which the film or sheet was inserted, will be glossy due to frequent entry operation. . Discuss power theft by partial earth fault. In this type of power theft consumer managed to connect heavy load to the ground. Here, the measurement is done based on current in one circuit only, i.e.,1-J, which is less than the actual load current used by the consumer (J).
