INTRODUCTION
What is power theft??
Meter tampering
illegal connections
unpaid bills
Challenging task to electricity board.
OBJECTIVE
Reduce power thefts caused due to meter tampering. Using basic principles of radio communication and
microcontroller.
Display the illegal power consumers meter number
and address.

MICROCONTROLLERS
Receives power
theft information. Decodes Monitors
ADVANTAGES
Automatic user identification. Easy to implement and understand as it uses versatile components of electronics. Regular vigilance can be avoided. System operation is independent of time. Power can be supplied at economical rates.
CONCLUSION
With the present thesis, illegal power accessors can be caught easily and fined heavily so that in future the power generation tallies with the power consumption with no transmission and distribution losses. With the implementation of this kind of systems in real time , a lot of man power can be saved and rate of genuine energy consumers can be enhanced, thereby improving the economy of the country.
