Development of Wireless Anti-Electric Pilferage Automatic Transfer Switching with GSM Technology

Electric pilferage issues are common in the Philippines, especially in remote areas or among informal settlers. Because the detection is not easy and is mostly done manually, it can often cause a fire in the area. In that case, researchers pushed to develop an anti-electric piracy device. The primary purpose is to develop a device that can monitor the current flow of the power line and immediately notify the owner if anything unusual happens via SMS notification. The parameters to be considered are the difference in the pulley data that occurs between the transmission receiving part. All data were compared by Arduino Nano with a tolerance of +/- 0.4 Amperes. Upon completion of this project, the researchers conducted a variety of valuable tests, including wiretap sensing, switchgear trigger system, and notification from the GSM module. Everything included in the test is exposed to 100% functionality, which proves that this project is reliable from all parts, especially in sensing, triggering, and notification.
