Abstract:
The cessation of electricity distribution can cause complaints from consumers. Maintenance of the electricity network is important to improve service to consumers. This research was motivated by the existence of problems in the installation of the insulator cover. This is a direct touch job, necessary to turn off the power because it can be dangerous for workers to touch the live line. The goal is to design a wireless-based robotic hand controller for the installation of the insulator cover so that workers have a safe distance and without touching live line during installation. This robot control system uses an application designed with the drag-drop block programming method on app inventor. This application is installed on smartphone, then connected to Bluetooth on the Esp32 which has been programmed with the H-Bride logic gate to control the direction of motor rotation. Controlling the motor direction on the robot’s hand can be done with a voltage of 12 Volts. The output of this de
sign can control the robot’s hand to install the insulator cover with the remote work method using a stick on a live power pole. This is expected to help improve the reliability of the distribution of electrical energy supply.
