The Effect of Temperature on the Electrical Conductor

M.T S.T. Agus Salim

In this work, we report the effect of temperature on the electrical conductor. One of the components used to deliver electricity is the conductor or often referred to as the cable. The amount of electrical power delivered from a power plant to the transmission network and distributed through the distribution network to the consumer is strongly influenced by the type of conductor used. The type of carrier used on the transmission network is different from the carrier used on the distribution network. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature on electrical conductivity. To determine the magnitude of the influence of temperature then each conductor will be given a current of 0.5 to 1 of the nominal current with variations in temperature varying from 25oC to 30oC. The result indicated that the value of resistance and conductance is greatly influenced by the value of the temperature level and the magnitude of the nominal current value in each resistance
