A method, system, and apparatus for detecting electricity theft are disclosed. Electricity theft is the practice of stealing electrical power from a provider. Violators are not charged for the total number of kilowatt-hours actually used, causing lost revenue for both utility companies and retail electricity providers. The method, system, and apparatus may comprise providing power to a plurality of end user destinations from one power source, selecting one destination for testing, and switching off all of the end user destinations except for the selected destination. The method, system, and apparatus may further comprise sensing the current from the power source, sensing the current returning from the selected destination, and determining the difference. The presence of electricity theft can be determined if the current entering the system is not the same as the current returning from the system. |
