Given the susceptibility to magnetic tampering, electricity meters often include magnetic sensors designed to detect external magnetic fields and take appropriate actions, such as disconnecting services to the electricity meter or applying a penalty fee for tampering. Figure 7-8 shows that magnetic tampering can result from a permanent magnet in any of the three orientations. Another form of magnetic tampering can be generated through an external coil powered from AC supply mains. The TMAG5273 offers flexible operating modes and configuration of three independent Hall-sensors to detect tampering.
