Abstract:
Disturbances occur in the transmission system in the form of a decrease in quality in the
midspan joint, this disturbance is a major disturbance that can result in company losses and
electrical system failures. This research aims to analyze the comparison of electrical
resistance, rated breaking strength, and mechanical strength of midspan joints. The research
methods used include laboratory testing for electrical resistance measurement, RBS
calculation, and tensile testing to determine the mechanical strength of the conductor. In this
study entitled "The effect of splice shunt on the midspan joint used in the ACSR 250
conductor on the electrical and mechanical properties" it was found that the use of splice
shunt on the midspan joint resulted in lower electrical resistance than the reference conductor
resistance. In addition, RBS calculation shows that midspan joint with splice shunt has 39%
higher mechanical strength than midspan joint without splice shunt.
