Abstract

Endpost is a component that separates two connected rails to prevent a short circuit in the rail line. The purpose of the research was to improve the mechanical properties of the endpost in terms of pressure and the value of electrical insulation. The study used an experimental approach, aiming to determine the increase of the mechanical properties of the endpost made of carbon fiber with various compositions. After making the endpost composite specimen, it carried out a compressive test and an insulator resistance test to determine the maximum load strength and stress of the composite endpost. From the compressive test and the insulator test, it obtained the maximum pressure at 7.00 Mpa based on the 80%:20% epoxy-carbon fiber composition which had the highest pressure strength value of several test specimens in the compression test. And, the endpost composite insulator resistance test, the endpost composite specimen obtained a resistance value of 50 kΩ in a voltage test of 250 kV.
