Abstract
Total power losses in a power system consist of technical losses and
commercial losses. Commercial losses are 30-40 % of total losses and
appear as a result of unreliable measurement devices for electricity
registering and wilful unauthorised consumption of electricity. It is almost
impossible to find illegal connections in a distribution power system
due to hidden main power cables in the house walls or underground. A
proposed and elaborated measurement procedure based on time domain
reflectometer successfully solves the problem described.
