Abstract
Power theft is a major problem in distribution side, all over the world. This is illegal and should be strictly prohibited. Power theft can be defined as the usage of the electrical power without having any contract with the supplier. Nowadays the most common type of power theft is done by hooking directly from the distribution lines. This project focuses on the prevention of unofficial power consumption. The circuit consists of Node MCU, Current sensor, Relay, LCD, IOT platform. In this project a current sensor is used at actual load side for reading the value of current. Through the IOT platform, the value of current is sent to the Node MCU. The Node MCU is programmed for a certain value of current. If the value of current is exceeded, then there is an occurrence of power theft, it will be shown in the LCD display. Through the IOT, the data is sent to cloud platform. If power theft occurs, then the information is passed to the PC of the control room
