Abstract

Disturbance caused by the touch of trees and animals is the cause of disruption of electricity distribution services that are most widely reported in all PLN service units as a result of the large number of animals playing around the SUTM network. The purpose of this research is to design a tool/component of climbing barrier on the Treck Schoor Feeder 5B3, ULP Painan-UP3 Padang in an effort to prevent the number of external disturbances. The research was conducted using a case study type by counting the number of animal disturbances that occurred in the medium voltage airways (SUTM). The research location is in the 20 kV medium voltage distribution channel (SUTM) at Feeder 5B3, ULP Painan-UP3 Padang. The impact of the work of installing animal climbing barriers on the Treck Schoor in the F5B3 feeder has decreased by 100% (very significant), i.e. ZERO disturbances in March-May 2022.
