Abstract |
|
Electricity theft can be defined as, using electricity from the utility without a contract or valid obligation to alter its measurement. It is a criminal practice and power utilities are losing billions of rupees in this account. Such activity provides loss for government and indirectly to the people also. In the proposed work, detecting the system is made over arduino nano programmer and ATmega328P_PU microcontroller. The system works with the concept of vibration. If someone tries to do any type of tampering to the electricity meter then automatically it's sending the information to electricity board and junior engineer. The system is highly implementable and can be used for real-time applications. |
