Abstract :
The target for network losses in 2022 at PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Semarang is 8%. However, the
achievement of losses in October only reached 10.04%. So it is necessary to reduce losses so
that the target of 8% can be achieved. One way to do this is to do load balancing. Balancing is
done by exchanging the phases on the PHB-TR. Based on the calculation results, the imbalance
at the RJLS substation: 33%, RJKS: 5% and MAI: 34%. After balancing it decreased to RJLS:
16% and MAI: 6%. The neutral current at the RJLS and MAI substations before balancing
RJLS: 22.54A and MAI: 2.69A, after balancing it drops to RJLS: 9.54% and MAI: 11.53%.
Losses caused by the transformer neutral current before balancing RJKS: 350.5 W and MAI:
3645.8 W, after balancing decreased to RJLS: 62.7 W and MAI: 91.7 W. Losses due to current
flowing to the ground before balancing at the RJLS 1049.7 W and MAI 4651.2 W substation.
After balancing, it drops to RJLS 538.2 W and MAI 1253.1 W. Energy losses in percent before
balancing at the RJLS substation 8.3 % and MAI 26.78%. After balancing it decreased to 3.5%
RJLS and 4.2% MAI. The conclusion obtained is that balancing the load using the phase
swapping method on the PHB-TR can reduce the value of unbalance and neutral currents, so
that losses can decrease.
