An energy metre is a device that measures the amount of electrical energy supplied to a residential or commercial building. The most common unit of measurement made by a meter is the kilowatt hour, which is equal to the amount of energy used by a load of one kilowatt in one hour. |

T&D loss indicates technical loss i.e. loss due to leakage,due to heating caused by looseness of joints, and low efficiency of Distribution Transformer.Nontechnical loss is theft by tampering the energy meter,tapping power without the knowledge of the supplier etc.Both are detrimental and need preventive planning and action.
Suggestion is on every point of connection where more than one subscriber is connected shall have incoming Energy Meter ( One)and Outgoing Energy meter ( No. of Subscriber), so that every time it can be compared and trouble spot can be focussed.It may be expensive programme but is required to keep a track of lost energy which is more expensive.

As Smart Metering would certainely have a good control over Power Theft, it is appreciable to implement through out India. Simultaneously if the same Smart Meters are installed with Pre-Paid billing system with different Tariff's, would be of good to achieve timely revenue to the departments having a control over Power theft. Hope it is acceptable |

Its very bad that electricity is facing theft. inspite of all the measures taken , someway or other this is happening. Among all the gadgets available in the market right now, I believe smarter power metres should be inroduced as it can check power theft much better...

In India power is robbed as day light robbery(for night light) from the poles during seasonal festivals and local festivals to power the road light buntings and sound system and the orchestra. this is very simple since the lineman himself will connect it for the days that is needed.It is done as if power is just freely available in the air(since the wires are in the air!) . Neither the Dept officials ,nor the public,nor the Govt takes any notice of the theft.In fact the corporator,MLA,Ministers and the goondas in tow come as guests of honour Inaddition, there are another privileged group ,highly influential gentlemen, who by money power to line men(not to the electricity board) hook up the power from the poles direct for the light needs of their kins wedding. These have nothing to do with meters. in fact it is stolen without cicumventing technology.It is there on the poles free for the asking. How can we prevent it ?Only by means of cabling right thru U/G cables to the electronic meter . |

Really use Underground Cables and provide connection to authorised subscriberonly through Feeder Pillar.If feeder pillar used ,it should be lockable and provided with energy meter in Incomer and outgoing feeder also to clarify the errors of the meters or any losses.
Mind it not only theft occurs on Electrical connection , but also Meter reader`s error is also a factor for losses.

Yes it is a good idea, I support it. We should reduce the usage of AC for this the AC production should be brought down. Even in cars there should be no such facilities. Today cars are the major producers of green house gases, even if the climate is... |
As the population increases the demand for power also increases. So there is no proper supply according to the demand, this is because of improper management of the resources. And now we are running short of resources........ So we should manage the... |
