What You Will Need to Bypass the Electric Meter

To hack the electric system, you need to have the following tools with you;

 AC adaptor
 Electrical tape
 Plastic wraps
 Plastic cups
 A knife
 A speaker wire
 2 magnets

Method 1: Bypassing the Electric Meter Connection

This is the most common method to bypass the electric meter in homes and
institutions.

 Every household usually has a primary power line connection sourced

from the electrical pole at 220 volts.
 The voltage is so high for domestic use. Therefore, a transformer is
used to reduce the voltage to 120 volts.
 Once the power voltage has been cut down, the power line is usually
connected to the electric meter to distribute into the house.
 You can bypass this by connecting your wires to the meter panel
board.
 Once the electric meter has been bypassed, it won’t be able to count
the electricity units consumed in your house.
Since the electric meter can’t read the units consumed, your electricity bill
will drop.

Method 2: Direct Line Linking

This method is very dangerous, and you need to be cautious.

Direct linking taps power directly from the main power line. You must link
your cable to the line way ahead of the electric meter. Your power
consumption will not be tracked. To link directly, you can either use
switches or link without the switches.

Method 3: Reversing the Meter Counter

As the name suggests, the method entails reversing the meter reading in
your favor. Many people use this method because it is easier and does not
have a lot of complications and risks to take.

 Open the electric meter.

 Change the meter counter as you would like it to read.
 Wrap the meter using plastic wrap.
The result will be an altered reading on your electric meter and no one will
notice it.

Method 4: Changing the Electric Meter Direction

You can also bypass the electric meter by simply changing the direction of
the electricity meter.

Most of the electric meters are positioned in a straight direction on the wall.
This is meant to allow the disk to rotate evenly. The spinning disc shows the
amount of energy that is being used at the moment. Changing the direction
of the electric meter to an opposite direction disrupts the movement of the
disk until it stops rotating.

Once the disk has stopped spinning, the amount of power used will not be
recorded.

Method 5: Tapping Wires

This is an easy method to bypass your electric meter. All you need to know is
how to disconnect the neutral wire and reconnect it in a different place.

The electric meter has two wires; black and red. The red wire has the power
load while the black wire indicates the neutral on the panel board. The
spinning electric meter disk requires both wires to be connected to the panel
board so that it can move freely.

 Locate where the two wires are (red and black).

 Remove the black wire from the electric meter.
 Use electric tape to tape the top surface of the neutral wire.
 The knife should be used to cut the tapes
 Swap the two wires. The red wire should be where the black wire was
and the black wire placed in the position of the red wire.
 Insert the neutral wire in a different location apart from the electric
meter circuit after tapping it.
Since the neutral wire is not directly connected to the circuit, power will
flow through the electromechanical panel board. The meter disk will not
rotate freely due to the disconnection of the neutral wire.

Method 6: Using Magnets

Here, the magnets are used to slow down the rotation of the disk in the
electric meter. This is how you go about it;

 Open your electric meter,

 Take the magnet and place it on top of the rotating disk.
 The disk will slow down in movement as it is obstructed.
Once the disk is slowed down, it will show that you are using less power
than the actual power consumed.

Method 7: Clinging Meter Screws
The last method that you can use to bypass your electric meter is by clinging
to the meter screws.

The metering screw is clung to the rotating disk thereby reducing its
rotation speed. If the rotating disk is slow, the electricity consumption will
be reduced giving you an advantage. The final reading of the meter will
indicate less consumption hence cutting down your electricity bill.

The above methods are for informational purposes. They are easy to apply
and anyone can use them at home. Dealing with electric appliances and
electricity is dangerous and you need to take a lot of caution. It is also
important to note that bypassing your electric meter is illegal and you can be
prosecuted for it.
