Abstract

The construction materials meet the standard needed to support the safe use of electricity in consumer’s homes. The Electricity house lines are part of the PLN electricity distribution line. The practicality is that so many house lines are damaged, especially the service wedge clamp which is made of thermoplastic because it cannot withstand the tension load caused by the house line cable. To overcome this issue, a service wedge clamp with an adequate tensile load is needed. This research is applied research carried out by redesign, mathematical calculations, and statistical data processing of the research object of twenty-five samples service wedge clamp. The service wedge clamp that is the object of this research only has a maximum tensile strength of 8.87 deka newtons. Based on PLN standard No. 83/1991 the required tensile strength (load) is 160 deka newtons. The problem is that the service wedge clamp body breaks to resist the pressure of the support during the pull test. To overcome this problem, a redesign was carried out and tensile strength testing was done to increase the strength of the Service wedge clamp. The new design results were carried out by adding support to the support design. The tensile strength (load) of the new design of the Service wedge clamp is increased to a maximum of 188.21 deka newtons, the result is more than the standards determined by the State Electricity Company (PLN). Design improvements have been proven to increase the strength of this thermoplastic service wedge clamp.
