(a) one or both of the wires of the current transformer or the potential transformer or both have been stripped or reversed or burnt, or
(b) adopted other technology.
(2) The peak demand of the stolen time shall also be assessed on the basis of engineering principles.
(3) If the stolen electricity unit cannot be determined according to sub-rule (2), the electricity stolen and consumed will be determined on the basis of the following formula on the basis of the highest demand during the period from the month before the discovery of the fact of the electricity theft or the previous one year.
