Abstract: Power theft is that the biggest problem nowadays, which causes huge loss to electricity boards. And to hide these losses ultimately, price is increased. So ifwe are able to prevent these thefts, we are able to save lot of power. By keeping track of electricity used, you identify where the best opportunity for energy savings lies. Becoming responsive to overall energy use involves keeping track of the readings on the electrical meter. The traditional practice for power theft is to tag the wires to feeder lines for field motors power/etc. So, by sensing current flow through the load & energy feedback we will prevent power theft employing a breaker. During this system, a micro controller is interfaced with power line/feeder with current sensors using simple current sensing circuit, Wi Fi communication link, & a contactor to form or break line. At the sub station end, a PC is connected with a Wi Fi link to speak with all energy meters & a buzzer. In normal condition, micro controller reads current value/ratio in feeder lines continuously. If the microcontroller gets both current transformer values same, it indicates there's no power theft. Whenever the ability is being theft this technique automatically detects the condition by changing the CT ratio. This method automatically activates device and sendmessage to substation with code. This information is distributed to substation using wireless communication. Within the society it's been observed that several people practice illegal power theft by means of tapings from lines meter bypassing etc. Our project aims to stop, ultimately to scale back the electricity bill charged to the consumers. Our project is to be implemented using Internet of Thing (IoT) in conjunction with Arduino Uno module. Connect Wi Fi to mobile through mobile telnet application.

Electricitytheftisdirectlylinkedtogovernancemetrics,with higheramountsfoundinnationswithpooraccountability, politicalinstability,ineffectivegovernment,andhighlevels ofcorruption.Increasingelectricitygenerationalonewillnot suffice to meet today's demands. So that the generated powerisusedasefficientlyaspossible,powerconsumption andlossesmustbecontinuouslymonitored.Inourcountry, Electrical energy theft runs from 3 to 30%. This illicit electricity usage may have an indirect impact on our country'seconomicsituation.

First of all, we need to connect all equipment accordingly block diagram, in this project need to take two power suppliestoprototype,oneisaDCsupply,anACsupply,taking power an adaptor which converts AC to DC supply, this supplyconnecttoArduinoboardAcsupplyisgiventopower line.AfterthatturnonthepowersupplythroughRPS,andthe display is on, After we should connect the Wi Fi in our mobileorlaptop,withtheusernameandpasswordprovided Wi Fi module than in the display we seen the p1 and p2 valuesthisvaluemeasuredbythecurrentsensors,heretwo bulbsrequiredOneisactinglikeanormalloadanotheroneis atheftload,anormalconditionbulb,oneglowsindisplayon theftoccurredonthisline,P1andP2valuesareequal.When thebulb 2isturnedONmeansinthislinehavepowertheft andthep2valueincreasesnotequaltothep1,thengivethe buzzerAndLEDindication,ONdisplayshowingthepower theftandpowertheftinformationsenttomobileorlaptop throughmobileTelnetapplication.Hence,inthisprojecthave apowerline,theloadsarebulb 1andbulb 2herewhenthere isno powertheftonthislineloadvaluesarethesame,the valuearenotsameconsideraspowertheftinthispowerline
