Abstract

In this modern era electricity is the major component of human life. Its play a vital role to facilitate the human life by operating all modern electrical equipment. The consumption of electricity increases rapidly due to its uses in the domestic and industrial sector. In the distribution of electricity, there are few emerging issues leads to huge losses. The illegal connection of electricity in remote areas increases rapidly. Such theft of electricity from distribution line leads to huge losses in revenue of electricity. Pakistan facing huge energy crisis due to a shortage of electricity generation. This research project modeled and the designed the hardware prototype of automated anti-theft electricity distribution system. The proposed system detects the illegal load and burns it by sending high voltage signal from capacitor bank. The legal load is made safe and uninterrupted during execution of illegal load.
