Abstract-
Power theft is usually done in two ways by jumping or hooking. To see it, a proposed system (current measurement and comparison) is proposed in which the distribution of electrical energy is done indirectly from an electric pole to a central distribution box and then to individual houses. During the installation of electricity meter user information is stored in a database. An effective comparison between the current values ​​from the distribution box and the electricity meter on the server if we find a small difference between the currents and then steals detected. The same process is used for hooks but for individual poles. The theft of various electrical units and residences is a complex issue, due to the theft of electricity the loss of electricity, which makes electricity more expensive. Therefore, a functional project has been developed using modern Arduino Uno microcontroller technology to minimize such losses, using a very effective project to catch an electric thief by interrupting the electric meter or by any other means.
