Abstract :

Nowadays electricity thefts are increasing day by day at domestic as well as industrial levels which make a huge economic loss for the electricity department and our country also. There are several methods for power theft like meter tampering, stopping the meter reading i.e., falsifying meter gear parts. We also have several ways for detecting power theft, but the detection should be done manually which is not possible every time. So, we came up with a solution where power theft can be easily monitored. The project aims to design a power monitoring system by measuring the load. This system is also used to communicate the theft information to the electricity board via an IOT application called IoT application. The whole network is mainly concentrated on Arduino Interfacing with LCD, current sensor, and ADC. The Arduino is used to detect power theft and pass the information about the theft to IoT which internally sends information to the electricity board.
