Rancang Bangun Prototipe Detektor Gangguan Listrik Berbiaya Rendah Berbasis IP pada Kampus Institut Teknologi Sumatera

Abstract

The ITERA electrical faults cannot be handled quickly by electricians due to the absence of a qualified monitoring system. It is also not possible to purchase a monitoring system with institutional scale because of the high price. Therefore, a low-cost electrical fault detector is designed with current sensor SCT013-000 as main device and communicates over an IP-based network. This detector is integrated with an electrical network information system that can be monitored via a web-browser. The system designed has succeeded in providing information on electrical disturbances with an average delay of 6 seconds and a maximum of 64 seconds when the detector loses its electricity supply. The price for a set of detectors with 2 sensors is around Rp. 249,500, it is relatively cheaper than similar products on the market.
