Meningkatnya kebutuhan dan tarif  energi listrik membuat oknum masyarakat memilih untuk mengambil jalan pintas dengan malakukan pecurian secara ilegal listrik milik Negara. Hal tersebut sangat bertentangan dengan hukum dan sangat beresiko terjadinya konsleting listrik  yang dapat mengakibatkan kebakaran. Oleh sebab itu, dibutuhkan suatu alat untuk mencegah terjadinya pemakaian arus secara ilegal yang efektif tanpa harus melakukan pengukuran secara langsung ke konsumen. Untuk mendeteksi terjadinya pencurian listrik ilegal dilakukan dengan 2 cara yaitu physical detection methode dan customer consumption methode. Penelitian diperoleh bahwa pemasangan sederhana dengan pemanfaatan  transformator arus (current transformer) sangat membantu PLN dalam mencegah penggunaan arus listrik ilegal tanpa harus melakukan pengecekan langsung terhadap konsumen.

Current transformer (CT) is a device that transfers the electrical energy from one circuit to another through a shared magnetic field. In a CT, heat is generated in the core, tank wall, and primary and secondary windings. The performance of a CT is well indicated by the temperature distribution inside it. In this study, numerical analysis was performed to predict the temperature distribution inside the CT at every instant under different load conditions. It was found that the numerical results obtained were in good agreement with the experimental measurements. Thus, it was concluded that the numerical method can be a useful tool in CT design and performance monitoring.

Mochammad Rizki Samputro, Arkhan Subari in this paper explains that the need for electricity in everyday life demands PT. PLN to always maintain the distribution of electrical energy to customers. Therefore, it is necessary to use a strategy to prevent blackouts if the transformer is being maintained, that is by maneuvering the load through the network or by using a 20 KV coupling system. The 20 KV Coupling System consists of PMT Kopel Transformer 1 and PMT Kopel Transformer 2 or often called PMT Kopel to Kopel. In this research, a Kopel to Kopel PMT simulation tool is used to transfer transformer loads during maintenance using a LY2N DPDT 12 V relay, ZMCT103C current transformer sensor, voltage sensor, tap changer and use Arduino Mega 2560 as a delivery choice change. After the experiment, the total current size of transformer 1 and transformer 2 exceeds the capacity of transformer which is 4.29 A and the voltage difference is 0.71 V (5.9 %). Therefore it is necessary to adjust the current and voltage regulation so that it becomes 2.82 A and 0.06 V (0.5 %). After that the transfer of load Transformer 2 to Transformer 1 using PMT Kopel to Kopel can be done. The load transfer is done by entering the PMT Kopel 1 and PMT Kopel 2 simultaneously and the Incoming 2 PMT is released. For the normalization, PMT Incoming 2 is entered and PMT Kopel 1 and Kopel 2 are released simultaneously.

The rapid increase in population has more demand and consumption of electrical energy in the market, use of equipments such as electrical and electronic components are also costlier. In order to protect the system from overload, or short circuit here is one possibility, which is by fast acting electronic circuit breaker. A circuit breaker is an automatically operating switch designed to shut down the power supply when it is overloaded. The tripping depends on the current passing through the CT’s which is connected in series with load. The project is designed to develop the power supply which shuts down when it is overloaded by using a fast acting electronic circuit breaker. The concept of developing a electronic circuit breaker came into focus realizing that the conventional circuit breakers such as MCB’s and fuse take longer time to trip. Therefore for sensitive loads it is very important to activate the tripping mechanism within short period of time. We know that the Modern technologies are paramount to provide operational reliability and financial profitability, so it is very important to develop an electronic circuit breaker by using a micro controller arduino. Here an electronic circuit breaker is designed using arduino in which program is dumped and a particular is set so that the system can shut down when it is overloaded. Here the voltage is sensed and rectified to DC and then it is compared with a preset voltage by a level comparator to generate an output that drives a relay to trip the load. The relay is preferred in place of semiconductors because such solid state switches would invariably fail in case of accidental short circuits. This project is designed to overcome the drawback of thermal type of circuit breaker like MCB based on a thermal bimetal lever trip mechanism which is very slow. This project is based on the current sensing across a series element typically a CT (Current Transformer). The current sensed which is compared against the preset value proportional to the voltage by comparator which is inbuilt in arduino to generate an output that drives a relay to trip the load very fast.

Identify potential energy savings is one way to optimize the supply and use ofenergy in industrial sector. Electrical energy supplied by PT. PLN (Persero) withinstalled power capacity of 30,000 kVA. Electrical energy to the productionprocess with a voltage of 20 kV through 11 (eleven) units transformer. Based onthe results of power quality measurements with HIOKI 3197 and HIOKI 3286-20show as seen in the previous section, it can be seen that: (a) load unbalancesseen from the voltage and current in the transformer MCC-01 and thetransformer E-34. (b) magnitude fluctuating voltage on the main transformerphase S and T. Even the relatively high voltage (up to 233 V) on the transformerlighting. (c) the power factor is around 0.92 is good enough, but the power factorat the transformer low enough E-34 which reached 0.56. The power factor ontransformer lighting value -1 (leading). (d) total harmonic distortion (THD) voltageand current transformer at some fairly high beyond the limit of tolerance. Thereare several potential energy savings that can be identified, among others:decrease the voltage and current THD, reduction of reactive power consumptionin lighting, improved load balancing.Kata kunci: energi, listrik, faktor daya, penghematan, filter harmonic

It is known that piezoelectric material shunted with external circuits can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, which is so called piezoelectric shunt damping technology. In this paper, a piezoelectric stacks ring (PSR) is designed for vibration control of beams and rotor systems. A relative simple electromechanical model of an Euler Bernoulli beam supported by two piezoelectric stacks shunted with resonant RL circuits is established. The equation of motion of such simplified system has been derived using Hamilton’s principle. A more realistic FEA model is developed. The numerical analysis is carried out using COMSOL® and the simulation results show a significant reduction of vibration amplitude at the specific natural frequencies. Using finite element method, the influence of circuit parameters on lateral vibration control is discussed. A preliminary experiment of a prototype PSR verifies the PSR’s vibration reduction effect.

Tofu is main food in Indonesia and its waste generally pollutes the waters. This study aims to change the waste into energy by utilizing the electric charge in the pores of tofu waste to produce hydrogen in water. The tofu pore is negatively charged and the surface surrounding the pore has a positive charge. The positive and negative electric charges stretch water molecules that have a partial charge. With the addition of a 12V electrical energy during electrolysis, water breaks down into hydrogen. The test was conducted on pre-treated tofu waste suspension using oxalic acid. The hydrogen concentration was measured by a MQ-8 hydrogen sensor. The result shows that the addition of turmeric together with sodium bicarbonate to tofu waste in water, hydrogen production increased more than four times. This is due to the fact that magnetic field generated by delocalized electron in aromatic ring in turmeric energizes all electrons in the pores of tofu waste, in the sodium bicarbonate, and in water that boosts hydrogen production. At the same time the stronger partial charge in natrium bicarbonate shields the hydrogen proton from strong attraction of tofu pores. These two combined effect are very powerful for larger hydrogen production in water by tofu waste.

The article analyzes the dynamics of consumption of primary energy and production of electrical energy in the world for 1973-2012 and the volume of renewable energy. It is shown that in the crisis year of 20 0 9 there was a significant reduction in primary energy consumption and production of electrical energy. At the same time, renewable energy has developed rapidly, well above the rate of the world economy growth. The development of renewable energy is one of the most effective ways out of the crisis, taking into account its production regime, energy, environmental, social and economic efficiency. The forecast for the development of renewable energy for the period up to 2020, compiled by the IEA, is analyzed. It is shown that its assessment rates are conservative; the authors justify higher rates of development of renewable energy.

The article deals with the development of a physical model of a car equipped with measuring, recording and remote control equipment for experimental study of car properties. A detailed description of the design of the physical model and of the electronic modules used is given, links to application libraries and the code of the first part of the program for remote control of the model are given. Atmega microcontroller on the Arduino Uno platform was used to manage the model and register the parameters. When moving the car on the memory card saved such parameters as speed, voltage on the motor, current on the motor, the angle of the steered wheel, acceleration along three coordinate axes are recorded. Use of more powerful microcontrollers will allow to expand the list of the registered parameters of movement of the car. It is possible to measure the forces acting on the elements of the car and other parameters. In the future, it is planned to develop a mathematical model of motion of the car and check its adequacy in conducting experimental studies on maneuverability on the physical model. In addition, it is possible to conduct studies of stability and consumption of electrical energy. The physical model allows to quickly change geometric dimensions and mass parameters. In the study of highway trains, this approach will allow to investigate the various layout schemes of highway trains in the short term. It is possible to make two-axle road trains and saddle towed trains, three-way hitched trains of different layout. The results obtained will allow us to improve not only the mathematical model, but also the experimental physical model, and move on to further study the properties of hybrid road trains with an active trailer link. This approach allows to reduce material and time costs when researching the properties of cars and road trains. Keywords: car, physical model, experiment, road trains, sensor, remote control, maneuverability, stability.
