Warning: By doing this you risk killing yourself, being caught by the power company or burning your house down. Totse.info is not responsible if you use this information to break any laws. it is purely for educational purposes only.
In this guide i will show you how to get free electricity.
First ensure that you don’t put everything in your house on the new circuit because it looks suspicious when the power company finds you haven’t used any electricity all month in the middle of winter and your heating and lights are on when they check the meter.
Anyway firstly you will need to locate your meter panel, it may look something like this
As you can see in this instance there are three meters. It is like this as it is a three phase installation. Being in NZ this allows for 230/400 volt service. in my case it’s because i have a three phase well pump for my water supply. This guide will show you how to bypass the meter altogether not how to modify the meter.
Here in NZ ( and likely most other countries) the main switch is connected before the meter so they can be disconnected without removing the supply fuse at the power pole.
In some cases the main switch is tagged like the meter so it cannot be opened without the power company knowing it was tampered with. this is normally done with a metal or plastic tag threaded through a hole in the screw holding the cover on or a tamper resistant sticker which cannot be removed without damaging it. if your switch is like this then this guide isn’t for you.
Firstly remove the screws that hold the cover on so you can get at the wiring in the panel. then remove the screws on the switch after first switching it off. Beware that the terminals on one side of the switch are still live so don’t touch them or you will receive a shock or be electrocuted. Here there is 415 v between each terminal and 230 v between each terminal and ground. This can kill you so be extremely careful.
Next disconnect any circuit you don’t want metered from the supply making sure you disconnect the supply side from the fuse/breaker and not the output side as you will want the breaker to protect the circuit from a fault. secondly take a piece of insulated wire and insert it into the terminal in the mains switch ensuring its connected between the meter and switch and not the supply side so you can disconnect power using the main switch. In the picture below the red/yellow/blue wires come from the supply and enter the top terminals of the switch. You will want to connect your wire to the bottom terminals in the switch. these terminals are what connect to the input side of the meters.
In this case the red phase wire is connected to the large blue wire at the bottom middle of the picture, this being the bottom set of terminals.
After connecting place the cover back onto the switch. turn the main switch back on and if everything is done correctly you should now have free electricity on your new circuit. ensure that all covers are put back on correctly so that it doesn’t look like anything has been tampered with.
Wiring colors differ between countries so here is a list of the ones i know
NZ/Australia 230/400 v
L1 – Red
L2 – Yellow or White
L3 – Blue
Neutral – Black
US/ Canada 115v
Phase – Black, Red
Neutral – White
Europe 230/400 v
L1 – Brown
L2 – Black
L3 – Grey
Neutral – Blue
