APPARATUS FOR THEFT DETECTION & REAL TIME PREDICTION OF ENERGY METER WITH DISCONNECTION PROCESS USING IOT FIELD OF INVENTION

[001]. The present invention relates to the technical field of microcontroller

based electric meter and electric power theft detector device

[002]. The present invention relates to the technical field of an electric

power meter, in particular relates to a combined transformer electrically

with the electronic energy meter.

[003]. More particularly, the present invention is related to Apparatus for

theft detection & real-time prediction of energy meter with disconnection

process using IOT.

BACKGROUND & PRIOR ART

[004]. The subject matter discussed in the background section should not

be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background

section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or

associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be

assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject

matter in the background section merely represents different approaches,

which in-and-of-themselves may also be inventions.

[005]. Power burglary is the act of taking electrical power from a supplier.

Violators are not charged for the aggregate number of kilowatt-hours really

utilized, causing lost income for both service organizations and retail power

suppliers. Robbery of power may bring about higher expenses for real

power clients, who should compensate for the lost income so the utility

supplier can keep on working.

[006]. Power robbery is likewise perilous, on the grounds that the altering

included can bring about fire or electric shock. Power robbery is an issue in

both created and agricultural nations. A fundamental technique for taking

power is to join a wire straightforwardly to a principle power course,

consequently bypassing the legit mate buyer of power, with the goal that

power can stream to the power criminal without going through the electric

meter introduced by office answerable for giving electrical Seer WICS

Electricity burglary can likewise be cultivated by cap peering with the

electric meter.

[007]. For instance, yet infusing unfamiliar components like

semiconductors, resistors, or IC chips into the electric meter, the meter can

be made to show lower than genuine power utilization. In different cases, a

distantly controlled circuit is introduced inside the power meter, where the

meter can be distantly eased back down. On the off chance that the distantly

controlled circuit is off, it won't be discernible at the point when the meter

is tried for exactness.

[008]. [0004] Electromechanical power meters can be messed with by

penetrating openings into or on the other hand in any case entering the meter

and embedding objects into the meter to discourage the development of the

inside system. Electricity robbery can regularly be identified by visual

assessment of the wires to and from the fundamental force course, or of the

electric meter. Mechanized techniques, notwithstanding, are more

commonsense and versatile, and can identify burglary strategies that

probably won't be found by visual assessment.
