PT. State Electricity Company (Persero) or abbreviated as PT. PLN (Persero) is a State-Owned Enterprise that provides electrical energy supply throughout Indonesia. Provision of electrical energy from PT. PLN (Persero) originates from power plants and then distributes it to customers through the transmission network and distribution network. However, electrical energy cannot be fully channeled. This is because in its distribution through the transmission network and distribution network experiencing depreciation of electric power or losses. Losses are a form of loss of electrical energy originating from the difference between the amount of available electrical energy and the amount of electrical energy sold. Losses are divided into 2 types, namely technical losses and non-technical losses. Losses of electric power can be caused by violations of the use of electricity from PLN customers, one of which is from household customers. Violations of the use of electricity are divided into 4 groups, namely P1, P2, P3, and P4. Therefore, a detector for the use of electric power is made. The system created uses the SIM 800 module which is set as a means of sending SMS when overcurrent is detected, where the microcontroller gets information from the PZEM sensor. When the load current is not the same as the mcb current, the SIM module will send an SMS to the smartphone.
