Abstract

The aim of this project is used for automation of mechatronics processes. More recently Electricity has been used for control and early electrical control was based on relays. This relays allow power to be switched on and off without mechanical switch. It is common to use relays to make simple logical control decisions. This systems are being advanced by ongoing research and development activities; one major activity entails the application with sensors to material handling, inspection and assembly operation. Now a days everyone knows what type of security we need, security in almost all the cases. Electricity theft is not a new phenomenon but it is becoming important because of its impact on the cost of electricity to consumers and the utility companies alike. But even after taking care we are still unsatisfied with the security which we provide by you. So as the technology is growing we are implementing new ideas over security purpose. One such a thing is using sensor which is used to detect the theft. The THEFT IDENTIFICATION USING GSM detect the theft when someone wants to theft electricity in home or industry then the theft will be automatically arrested with the help of sensor and make the alarm. The message will goes to MSCB after that they trip the supply. The buzzer will be on for indicating that theft is detected, buzzer will not be stopped until reset switch is pressed by the owners. Electricity can be fraudulently accessed through illegal hook-ups, meter tampering or bypass, billing irregularities and unpaid bills. Technically, this type of theft is the least sophisticated and is usually practiced by poorer households. It is also very easy to detect. Electricity Company to import power equipments like transformer and others to augment the demands of domestic and industrial consumer’s electrical power to both. The source of this illegal connection of power supply is mainly due to lack of proper monitoring system.
