ABSTRAK Penggunaan Energi Listrik berbanding lurus dengan keandalan instalasi listrik yang digunakan pada gedung instalasi rekam medis RSUP DR. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang, didalam aktivitasnya menggunakan peralatan canggih (complicated). Salah satunya pada instalasi listrik yaitu pada instalasi grounding atau pentanahan. Nilai resitansi atau tahanan pentanahan menurut Persyratan Umum Instalasi Listrik (PUIL) 2000 tidak melebihi 5?, sehingga Berdasarkan perhitungan dengan variabel-variabel didapat nilai resistansi yaitu 0,67 ?, sehingga perlunya ada perbandingan nilai resitansi dari hasil perhitungan dengan nilai resitansi hasil pengukuran langsung pada sistem grounding tahanan pentanahan pada waktu pagi dan sore hari di panel listrik instalasi rekam medis RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. Dari hasil pengukuran langsung pada pagi hari antara pukul 07.30 sampai 10.30 Wib didapatkan nilai tahanan resistansi dengan rata-rata 0.11?, Berdasarkan pengukuran resistansi tahanan pentanahan pada waktu sore hari pada pukul 15.00 sampai 17.00 Wib didapatkan nilai tahanan resistansi dengan rata-rata 0.07?.ABSTRACT The use of electrical energy is directly proportional to the reliability of electrical installations used in the building of General Hospital DR. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang, in his activities using sophisticated (complicated) equipment. One of them is in the electrical installation, namely the installation of grounding or earthing. Grounding resistance value according to General Electrical Installation (PUIL) 2000 does not exceed 5?, so that based on the calculation with the variables, the resistance value is 0.67 ?, so there is a need for a comparison of the value of the resitance from the calculation with the value of the resitance directly to grounding, grounding system in the morning and evening in the electrical panel of General Hospital medical record installation Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. From the results of direct measurements in the morning between 7:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m, resistance resistance values were obtained with an average of 0.11?. Based on measurements of ground resistance resistance in the afternoon at 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., resistance resistance values were obtained with an average of 0.07?.
