Electricity Theft Detection
Introduciton
In this project we will use wireless technology to monitor theft in Electricity
meter.An electric meter is a device used for measuring the amount of electricalenergy supplied to a residential or commercial building. Due to the increasing cost
of electricity, tampering and security in electric meters has become a majorconcern for government agencies across the globe. Especially in populous
countries like India and China tampering in electric meter and energy theft havebecome quite common.
Electric meters can be manipulated, thus causing them to stop, under-register or
even bypassing the meter. Consumers, who are tamper with electric meter,effectively use power without paying for it. This theft or fraud can be dangerous as
well as dishonest. Electric meter security is looked upon as major issue in manycountries today.
Today, many power companies are installing remote-reporting meters which are
capable of detect any tampering in electric meters, and discover energy theft.
These smart power meters are particularly helpful in preventing energy theft and
encouraging security in electric meters.
A large portion of a countrys revenue is lost due to the high density of tampering
and security in electric meters. Hence it becomes very important to detect
tampering in electric meters to ensue proper billing. Electric meter readers are

trained to spot signs of tampering. The consumers who tamper with electric meter
may be charged each billing period with the maximum rate until the tamper isremoved, or in some cases the service may also be disconnected.
A common method of tampering with electric meters is by attaching magnets to
the outside of the meter. These magnets prevent the alternating current fromforming eddy currents in the rotor, by saturating the coils or current transformers.
Rectified DC loads causes mechanical but not electronic meters to under-register.
As the DC currents do not cause the coils to make eddy currents in the disk, thuscausing reduced rotation and a lower bill. Other ways of tampering in electric
meters and playing with the electric meter security is to use some combinations ofcapacitive and inductive load, which also result in reduced or reverse motion.
Today, many modern meters can easily detect all of these effects. The owner of
the meter normally secures the meter against tampering. Newer computerizedmeters usually have counter-measures against tampering. In order to find and fix
power distribution problems, power companies today normally investigate
discrepancies between the total billed and the total generated These investigationsare an effective method of discovering tampering and security in electric meters.
Electricity distribution losses totalled Rs 70,000 crore in India.
In this project we will use remote monitoring method to prevent electricity theft.We will also try to present our method to electricity department.
We will use Radio technology to monitor wirelessly meter reading . if there will be
difference in wirless reading and installed meter reading , then we can easily detect
theft. In digital data user cant change value.
In this project we use one lcd screen. LCD screen display the balance amount
every time, LCD screen not only show the balance amount but at the same timelcd display the unit consumption. When the balance is zero then output is off.

5 VOLT REGULATED POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
In this project firstly we use one step down transformer. Step down transformer stepdown the voltage from 220 volt Ac to 12 volt Ac. This Ac voltage is further
converted into DC with the help of rectifier circuit. In rectifier circuit we use four
diode. All the diodes are arranges as a bridge rectifier circuit. Output of this rectifier
is pulsating Dc. To convert this pulsating DC into smooth dc we use one capacitor as
a filter components. Capacitor converts the pulsating Dc into smooth DC with the help
of its charging and discharging effect.
Output of the rectifier is now regulated with the help of IC regulator circuit. In this
project we use positive voltage regulator circuit. Here we use three pin regulator.
Output of this regulator is regulated voltage. If we use 7805 regulator then its means
its is 5 volt regulator and if we use 7808 regulator then its means that it is 8 volt
regulator circuit. In this project we use 5 volt dc regulated power supply for the
complete circuit. Separate 9 volt dc power supply is used for the relay coil
DTMF DECODER
In the DTMF decoder circuit we use one DTMF decoder circuit to interface the
mobile unit with this project. We dial the number of the phone connected to theenergy meter then phone is automatic on and no we press a button 1 or button 2 to
enter a value of 50 to 100 Rs in the meter. For this purpose we must need a mobile
interface circuit with out project. . In this interface circuit we use one main ic 8870.
This ic 8870 decode the dtmf pulses into bcd pulse . This bcd pulses is further
converted into decimal unit with the help of bcd to decimal decoder circuit.. For the
7/29/2019 Electricity Theft Detection

bcd to decimal decoder circuit we use ic 74154 to decode the bcd signal to decimal
signal.
PIN DESCRIPTION
IC 8870 is a DTMF (dual tone multiple frequency) decoder .It converts dtmf pulse into the equivalentBCD signal. Pin no. 18 and 10 of this IC are connected to the positive supply. This positive supply isfrom the 5 volt regulator circuit. Pin no. 9,5,6 are connected to the negative supply. Signal from thetelephone line is in the form of dtmf pulse is applied to pin no. 2 of this IC through 2.2k ohm resistor and
.1mfd capacitor. This signal is also connected to pin no. 3 through 100k ohm resistor. Pin no. 7 and 8 areconnected to a crystal of frequency 3.7945 mh. Pin no. 16 and 17 of this IC is reset pin. Pin no.
11,12,13,14 are the BCD output of this IC.
Advantages of Using Remote Method-
1. One time investment
2. It will save money of employees those are taking door to door reading.
3. Its not possible to interrupt wireless data
4. Easy to implement
