 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO POWER THEFT DETECTION

If any consumer use power without authorization of

power utility that is called power theft.
 TYPES OF POWER THEFT
 Direct Hooking From Line
 Bypassing the Energy Meter
 Injecting Foreign Elements into the Energy Meter
 Drilling Holes in Electromechanical Meter

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
 WORKING
 Here we compare the input voltage and the voltage
used by authorized consumer.
 Here we use IC 741 for amplify the voltage signal from
the current transformer through the rectifier.
 Now we use comparator to compare the input voltage
with the voltage used by authorized consumer.
 When the input voltage is not equal to the voltage used
by authorized user, then comparator send a signal to
buzzer.
 ADVANTAGES
Advantages:-
 Using this power theft detector we are able to detect
power theft.
 Maintenance cost of the power system is reduced.
 Due to removal of power theft connection, load on
the power system reduces so that power losses also
reduces.
 By this we get nearly actual load on the power
system so it is easy to forecast load accurately.
 DISADVANTAGES

 Here we must assume the fixed load.

 Here we have to calculate the maximum load capacity
of every authorized consumer.
 If any authorized consumer tampering their energy
meter then by this power theft detector we are unable to
detect that type of power theft.
 FUTURE SCOPE
 As we know in our country power theft is the most
considerable issue for the power utility, so the power
theft detector may become a useful asset to power
utility.
 RESULT
By this presentation we know about the power theft
detection system.

CONCLUSION

This presentation helped us in improving our

knowledge regarding to power theft.
