POWER THEFT
IMPACT OF ELECTRICITY THEFT
Lack of funds to operate and to manage the facilities
Lack of exposure to new technologies Corruption practices Reduced overall economic productivity
WHEN THEFT OCCURS
An illegal consumer steals directly from the distribution lines or from another legal customer
A legal customer steals either bypassing the meter or tampering with the meter to make it read less or no consumption.
METER TAMPERING
ILLEGAL WIRING
Circuit wire is disconnected/broken from circuit terminal block
Fishing pole connections
TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS
Electronic Tamper Detection Meters
automatic detection of:Meter TamperMeter BypassMeter Disconnection
Pre-Payment Meters
1.Credit added to the meter on a keypad.
2. Credit is purchased on a rechargeable token or a card and entered into the meter with disconnection ability.
PLASTIC METER ENCASEMENTS
Hard plastic encasements are a type of a meter seal. These transparent plastic covers serve as a warning and therefore reduce electricity theft
AUTOMATIC METER READING (AMR) SYSTEMS
AMR is a system where power and telecommunication infrastructures work together
ANTI-THEFT CABLE
Plastic layer
Coaxial (or Concentric) cables
CONCLUSION
If we are succeeded in avoiding the power theft there will be less scarcity for power utilisation
