Abstract:
PLN has not been able to meet the SAIDI (System Avarage Interupption Duration Index) and SAIFI (System Avarage Interupption Frequency Index) standards. One of the causes of the non-fulfillment of SAIDI and SAIFI standards in Indonesia is external disturbances, namely disturbances caused by nature or outside the system, for example trees that are towering up to touch the connection point so as to cause a short circuit. The presence of tekep insulators gives hope to PLN to overcome natural external disturbances caused by trees, animals and so on.The previous installation of the insulator is done by cutting off the electricity in the network cable. The power outage during the installation of the insulator is certainly detrimental to the customer. This condition gave rise to the idea of making mechanical aids for the installation of insulators to make installation easier without breaking the electricity supply to the network cable. The components purchased include an electric motor as a
driving force, a screw transmission. While the components made are pressure plates, drive arms, hinges, motor mounts, clutches, and locking axles.The results of tests carried out by installing an insulator using a mechanical hand on the cable connection on the power pole. The installation of the insulator plug by mechanical hand was tested on 3 connections and carried out 5 times on 1 connection on the power pole. The test results of installing an insulator on 1 connection using a mechanical hand obtained an average time of 8 minutes 40 seconds.
