This video is for informational purposes only and in no way do I condone using this method for theft of residential or commercial electricity service. Should you choose to use this method in such a way you are solely responsible for the consequences and I will not be held liable for your stupidity when you get caught!!!!
This method is for informational purposes and for those in extreme circumstances that require electricity but have had their power turned off and use a digital electric meter to record their electrical usage.
Digital electric meters are being installed all over and many people are frustrated as they have noticed that there electrical usage seems to have increased and there have been reports of faulty meters causing electrical fires.
Many times either through clerical or administrative errors people have found themselves without electrical power after their service has been disconnected by the power company sending a wireless signal to the meter and shutting their power off. This method explains how to circumvent that and restore electrical service as well as how to stop the meter completely and to prevent the meter from being disconnected after power has been restored.
There are also other uses for this method other than restoring your electricity such as when an individual purchases a used digital meter online and wants to reengage the contacts for personal use and monitoring their generator or solar power usage as well, so I please ask anyone that would leave derogatory comments about the legalities of this to please think before posting.
I strongly urge anyone who has their electrical service disconnected due to non-payment to negotiate with their provider to restore their service instead of using this method. This method should be only used in emergency situations where power has been disconnected by the provider and electricity is required by someone at the home for health reasons or similar circumstances and the power company cannot be contacted because of weekend or holiday hours and any delay in restoring the power could have dire consequences.
Also as a reminder of why this method may sometimes be helpful, I want to point you to this article: atlantablacksta...
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT ELECTRICITY CAN AND WILL KILL YOU IF NOT RESPECTED AND SAFETY KEPT IN MIND AT ALL TIMES!! GRANTED, IF YOUR ONLY REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE METER ITSELF THERE IS A LOW RISK, BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A LIVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSIDE THE PANEL THE METER FITS INTO THAT IS DANGEROUS!!
AGAIN....ANY USE OF THIS METHOD FOR ILLEGAL OR NEFARIOUS PURPOSES IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND STRONGLY ENCOURAGED AGAINST. I AM NOT AND WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES, PENALTY, INJURY, OR CRIMINAL PROSECUTUON INCURRED BY USING THIS METHOD.

This worked perfectly! But some how after a couple weeks they came and disconnected. I did disconnect the blue and white wires, so not sure how they found out. God bless! And thanks for the video, this helped us so much during a hard time. Most of us are not criminals nor do we want free electricity, but bad stuff happens financially all the time, and it can happen to anyone. I never thought I would be forced to stop working due to any heath conditions, and no one wants there kids coming home to no lights, and that’s why I say god bless you!

Your video is very informative and interesting. Unfortunately, some people don't know what a latching relay is... or a shunt... or anything about safely doing this. It's nice to know that the power company will shut off your house because THEY THINK it is a good idea to leave you powerless during an emergency situation. We are all way too dependent on the utilities and grocery stores for the dangerous times we live in. I am going to rethink how I could survive during S.H.T.F. Water supply, Food supply, house heat & cool, and self protection. Thanks for the video.

@bigfish8280 Год назад

100% agree great comment. Crazy story. I used to be an electrician with the international Brotherhood of electrical Union. for the US and canada. Anyway, long story short I lost my job due to complications with covid, health issues and a few other things. I was having trouble paying my electric bill. Im currently Seeking help with paying off the large balance I accrued. I'm pretty much done with all the paperwork and things should be working out soon However, even with my temporarily disabled wife awaiting surgery, not to mention she's 12 weeks pregnant! the utility company being aware of all this information, I just woke up this morning to no electric. My local utility company shut me off in the middle of the night knowing that the temperatures are below freezing this time of year where I live. They know that I need the electricity to operate my heat to stay warm and not freeze to death or freeze the water that's sitting in my pipes which maybe damaged due to freezing temperatures, my stove to cook food and eat to stay alive, my refrigerator to keep food from spoiling ( I can technically keep things outside with the temperatures but still the Sun can hit certain things and effect or spoil them and you don't necessarily want to freeze every item that you would normally keep in the refrigerator) the electric pump for my well water which is used for everything! Drinking water for the humans and animals in my home to stay hydrated and alive, showering, cleaning my home, washing dishes, washing clothing, on and on you get it. It's really unbelievable! Especially since they know that I'm in the process of obtaining some assistance through a program that will pay off my entire past due balance. But no they couldn't wait. Just shut people off from one of the most important things we have become accustomed to living in this Society we have created. Sure I could go out and live off the land, build shelter, fire, hunt fish and gather for my own food etc etc. I'm pretty good at most of these outdoor survival skills but I'm not quite ready or educated enough to survive for extended periods of time

@caroleclifford2138 Год назад

Overall and in general I agree with most of your comments here, and it is a fact that every electric company and people who work at them that actually shut off the power to your home do not give a rat's ass about if you freeze to death star but death keep clean or whatever ect... I do not care bear heartless and they are totally and completely in the job at there and the position that they carry for a paycheck and the owners of the electric company are in the position that they are in to be Mayan there's an to have the power and say so who doesn't who does not receive electricity due to the back of their behind their bill and I do have that part because they own the company and they're really are no strict laws in effect that should be in effect to help out the citizens that trust our supposed leaders to run our country, not their country but our country, but anyhow, there are no strict laws in place, that need to be in place , in order to preserve the life of our country's citizens. Just to put it simple, they do not care and they are not forced to are they are not forced to help nor give us free anything, , we on the other hand are forced to live without the necessity that we had become accustomed to in order to sustain our lives in the members of our families lives. So sad but extremely very very TRUE. However, I do believe there is one law that isn't that in every state in the nation of America when it comes to shutting off someone's electricity due to non-payment, and that law is, there is a time period That legally has to be followed when shutting off someone's electricity service and that time. Is never before 10 a.m. and never after 1 to 2 p.m., every state does have different timing involved especially due to daylight savings times but there is a line affect it says you may not shut someone up after a certain time of the day and never on the weekend as well it must be done through Monday through Thursday or Friday and never on Saturdays never on Sundays it is a highly against the law so I don't see how you were shut off in the middle of the night that doesn't make sense to me. Just wanted to note that to you.

I'm going to throw in another hack for you guys using a drill battery. If you're running on generator power and it stops making electricity but still running. Just take a couple little pieces of wire and hook to the drill battery like he did with the meter and stick it in the the electrical plug on the generator and you'll hear a click then crank it back up and have power again. They call it flashing the generator at a shop to make it sound expensive. What it actually does is when you run the generator out of gas with a load on it that takes that little bit of residual electric field in the winding that it needs to start generating power. All your doing is recharging that and closing a contact . They charge you hundreds of dollars to do this at a shop. I've had people give me good generators because of this after they already brought a new one. After hurricane Ida insurance companies paid for a lot of generators that just got flooded and I just changed the oil and gas hit it with 18 to 20 volts and good as new. God bless!! Hope this helps someone ✌️

Yes you must use a resistor with lower ohms and higher tolerance. Most meters are 1-5% tolerance. Highest tolerance in a resistor is 20%. So that’s a 20% margin of error basically it’s awesome.

I actually own my meter (right out bought it from the power company) and I have modified it to shut the mains power OFF during the day while running off solar and turn ON mains power at night when the solar input current drops below an unusable state via a mercury contactor. I can over ride the system with a 3 position keyed switch too if I need mains during the day for running the central A/C if weather is not good for solar use, etc. Stealing utilities is stealing utilities, the LAW does not care if there is a disaster in fact they frown upon it very much "Riding the coattails of a natural disaster to justify criminal activity" as they call it here and they hand out pretty stiff fines and jail time for it now. One thing you do not know is the power company knows if there is power on a branch and arriving to a property, IF that meter is not sending data bursts they know someone has tampered with it. The meters power is tapped before the internal contactors so disconnecting the metering leads will only alert them to inspect the meter and have police present while doing so.

@doubledton9253 6 лет назад

@Nidkidful 6 лет назад

Thank you sir. I could do this if absolutly nessesary as Im a ham radio operator, but most would need a third party to carry this out. It would be easier to bypass the meter & disconnect the output of the meter but not input as the power company will know its been taken offline & with thick enough wires & a suitable fuse in the live side mimicking the electricity company fuse you connect to your distribution box connections. To the electric company the meter will communicate that power is off looking as it should be if they cut you off. Surly there must be security seals that have to be broken to obtain entry to the meter, & the electric company would know & an appearance in court on the horizon. With the cost of electricity in Britain in April 2022 I have invested in a1000 watt solar panel & 100 amp control unit. I have a few large batteries & a few power inverters. Im expecting my panel tomorrow. Im working towards dumping the electricity companies.

If we have an issue such as unpaid bill, I'm sure somehow they'll get paid, but at least they can't cut my power. Is that legal? Can I force them to keep providing utility when they don't want to?

Use a split bolt to connect one set, wrap with rubber tape and the super 33 over that. Repeat for the other wire

@harrylime5147 5 лет назад

Sorry to tell you that the meter has a mercury tamper switch in it. Jiggle it, the company knows immediately, also, with the smart meter, the millisecond that that made her loses power, the company is notified electronically instantly, and it generates an inspection notice.Then you will be caught,, you get disconnected at the pole then, after you pay a bigger reconnect fee after you have inspections done by the local electrical inspector. You could also be prosecuted for “theft of service “ It’s not cheaper to run a generator at home when your power shut off either. Your generator will probably use between eight and 12 gallons of gasoline a day. So let’s say 10 gallons a day. Let’s just say four dollars a gallon, 10 gallons equals $40 a day, $280 for a week of running a generator disturbing the whole neighborhood. There will always be people that put more effort into avoiding work, than if they simply would just go to work, to make the money, to pay your electric bill, to live like a normal person.

@Dewey-wz4ny 5 лет назад

I agree with most of your comment, but I work at a power company, these meters do not have mercury tamper switches. Everyone stopped using mercury decades ago. The meters call home about every 2 minutes and depending on the power companies programming and alerts, they may or may not notice. If they don't, it's because they are busy or didn't setup up the programming properly. The benefits to the power company of these meters, is they can change your effective rates several times a day or even per hour if needed if the market changes. They're not locked into one fixed price. This way when the market changes they are free to pass the cheaper or more expensive prices on to the customer. One additional thing about these is the punitive effects, they punish the customer for usage during peak periods like early morning and late in the day when everyone gets home from work when electricity rates are typically highest. Electricity pass the costs on to the customers and say "you have more control over your bill" - well sorta. What they don't mention is the $3500 each customer must pay for over time - this is also passed on to the customer and that part of why our electric bill costs has gone up so much. That little circuit board with a network card and mini computer cost a lot, but it shouldn't cost that much. One thing is for sure however, they will record the events in a data log, send it to the power company for future reference and/or prosecution.

Newer meters now have Anti tamper trip switches installed, Usually 2-3 pins at the fixture points so it will send a signal to the company if you even take em off. The large capacitors in there are designed to give the unit power if disconnected so it can still send and receive its parameters over cell data connection. tampering with em is a bad idea.

Only a little bit risky. Just take 2 copper or brass bars and push them into the meter connectors. Just don't short to the meter box!

@jamesthompson9369 8 месяцев назад

You weren't fast enough there's a 45 second window before meter logs the fact it's not receiving power and when reconnected it sends that info back to power company letting them know either there's an outage or power theft is occuring and well when they look at your meter and the surrounding meters of your neighbors homes and they are all still on it's kinda obvious you tampered with your meter . Now if use jumper cables from your meter box to the meter while having everything disconnected you can get away with it because anything less than 45 seconds the systems just logs as a glitch or reset signal to the meter and they don't concern themselves with wasting a truck roll for that . That's how you get away with it . Ive been doing it for years and probably have helped about 100 + friends and family with similar setup and I can say I've not payed an electric bill in 3 and half years and everyone I've done it for have had similar results but I don't disassemble meter I just use jumper cables then use jumpers from post to post bend bottom tabs on meter outta the way then disconnect cables and shove meter back in . Badda boom badda bang ,ayyyyeeee power on . Works every time but if any tries it watch a couple videos at least first of your not real familiar with what your working with . Electricity is not forgiving in any way so if your not skilled in what your working with or have an idea of how it works don't mess with it . If you are skilled or have in idea of what I'm talking about go for it and do what you do to get your shit right and fuk the power company because they've been doing it to all of us for years

With a smart meter, as soon as you remove the meter, your location is tagged. There are 2 seals, the pad seal on the outside and there is an internal seal to the meter cover and meter base. If your outer seal is cut, they will remove the meter and check the internal seal. If the internal seal is broken you will get a brand new meter, and you will have a lock band installed. You will get caught. I spent 40 years in the meter department and specialized in residential and commercial diversions.

They turned off our power in Texas during last yrs ice store. SOOOO three weeks ago a grnd connector from pole our weather mast (house pole) failed and blew up a bunch of shit and house almost caught fire 4 separate times WHILE we were hosting a Christ mas party. I tested breaker box and showed this as failed grnd and was even getting a small shock thru ground at outlets. Well we called the elect co and they kept cancelling our call cuz the meter still had power and signal. The old man that finally came out was cool as a mofo…. We started talking shit about stuff and he causally mentions that when they cut power last year during the storm…. I SAID I KNEW THEY HAD. He agreed again then showed me this little trick to get them out here and how to close the bridge. I wish I could have gotten his number and hung out with the old timer. He was a wealth of knowledge for sure.

David Eggleston it actually does leave some evidence in the circuit sensors. They can read the load total, so they know someone was illegally connected. Often they are installing sub circuit level monitoring which will isolate it further, and also helps trace faults.

@implsive6519 5 лет назад

@motard126 even when the power goes out? They really must be some smart meters to report back in the middle of a multiple day hurricane! Also if you were to disconnect the line input and load output wires from the amp meter sensors on the main relay as suggested they would only be able to tell by the time difference and lack of power used, they can't charge you based solely on the fact your meter didn't report as directed and the meter can't store or report what it doesn't know is happening right inside itself. It's a machine built by regular people out of regular parts. The tech inside a "smart" meter is really just basic ac/dc electrical theory with integrated circuits that have been around over a decade and some the same as they were half a century ago.

Let's look at why we do not need smart meters. #1 A smart meter will hurt or even KILL disabled homeowners who have disabled medical implants. The average of deaths by smart meter radiation and smart meter fires is almost 100 every month in North America. #2 Did you know if your power company “turned off” the power to your home when they did a smart meter install, your chance of a smart meter fire increased by a factor of 10,000. #3 Your power company has access to all of you private power information. Eg When you make tea, when you turn on your alarm etc. This private information is sold to Google for huge sums of money. Ask your power company what the second radio transmitter in your smart meter does. (ZigBee) #4 A smart meter will cause cancer to return if your family members who are fighting cancer at home. If they come home from the hospital and sleep near a smart meter, they will die. Check with the US Cancer Society website. #5 Smart Meter RADIATION will turn off breakers in your home. Both AFCI's and GFI's get turned off by the radiation from the smart meter. #6 You smart meter is very accurate, BUT, the software (firmware) is programmable. Your bill has nothing to do with the power you use. #7 Smart meter radiation is breaking Ionic Bonding. #8 A huge expenditure for a huge loss. Billions of dollars to purchase something that does not general generate any power and each smart meter need 4 watts to operate. One million smart meters use 4,000 KILOWATTS of energy to operate. #9 The second radio transmitter is for ZigBee. If you want your power company to MONITOR your home 24/7, then you are in luck. Don’t forget, this private information will be sold. Why do you think your power company spends BILLIONS of dollars and does not generate one watt of extra power to sell?

Don't forget most smart meters can flag tamper signal to the company, tamper can be triggered when you open the case by pushing that brass pin to undo, also the blue and white wire going to sensing coil could also be monitored, so best to measure the coil resistance and solder a resistor of equal value. If you must hack, then hack properly. Never do a cow boy job.
