Abstract
Power stealing is unavoidable in the electric force plot. The goal of this venture is to primarily monitor 24 hour force utilization by various end clients. If the framework exceeds the endorsed load constraint, the stockpile of that purchaser is disconnected by utilizing a miniature regulator through a handoff. The intensity has been utilized in the absence of provider information. The point of this venture is to screen the power utilization by various end clients power robbery is a typical issue. Not only is there a loss of revenue for the government as a result of power robbery, but there is also overcrowding and damage to transformers as a result of the robbery. The proposed system is an attempt to address the issue of electricity theft. The theft is detected by the project by detecting overloading at the transformer. Once the overloading is detected, a relay circuit is employed to shut down the power supply from the respective transformer. Definitely, power shut down on doing electricity theft will discourage the mischievous elements. This proposed project established here is to show the machinery of electricity, anti-stealing system. A group of equivalent, connected bulbs are used as load and controlled by programmable Raspberry pi. These systems detect the overloading voltage comparison and additionally include buzzer circuit to this project. The buzzer is used to identify the electricity stealing to the people and reduce the stealing problems.
