ANALYSIS OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PROTOTYPE OPTICAL PHASE CONDUCTOR FOR TROPICAL CLIMATE CONDITIONS IN INDONESIA
Abstract: Marginal areas especially
rural communities still
lack electrical lighting
and telecommunications facilities. To access the electrical and
telecommunications networks required huge costs because there is no
infrastructure. To overcome this problem the
government is targeting
the national electrical
capacity 57 thousand Megawatts
in 2016 by
appointing the State
Electricity Company. This study
makes OPPC cable
used for extra
high voltage power
conductors and internet network
data that has
reliable performance and
durable. These goals will
be achieved when
the known characteristics and
mechanical properties OPPC cable. The results of material testing OPPC
cable diameter of 3 cm for
Type-voltage torsional twisting
36/6/24 RBS 50%
have the impact strength and
tensile highest of
112.27 kN and
61.26 MPa. While
the impact strength and
tensile cables that
OPPC least 3
cm in diameter
with a voltage selection of the type
of 36/6/24 RBS
25% of 63.24
kN and 36.36
MPa. The tensile strength and
impact influenced the amount of galvanized steel wire and twisting torsional
stress. The more
galvanized steel wire
and high torsional twisting voltage,
proportional to the
impact strength and
tensile increased. When compared
to ACSR cable
and commercial OPPC,
impact strength and tensile
cables made OPPC
nearing kekuatanya value,
where the tensile strength and impact ACSR cable with
voltage torsional twisting RBS 50% by 117 kN and 61.26 MPa and cables for
commercial OPPC 116 kN and 63 MPa
