Abstract

Inductive loads on ships are loads that cause the power factor value to move away from 1.00, especially if the addition of this type of load exceeds the standard and the load is installed unbalanced, it can worsen the power factor value. A low power factor value results in soaring current values and reactive power, which often results in cable insulation burning and reduced efficiency. The aim of this research is to create a tool that can automatically correct low power factor values using a Capacitor Bank, PZEM-004T sensor and ESP32 controller at certain inductive loads and can monitor and record electrical load parameter data from various areas on the ship online and offline. This research uses a trial and error method. Based on the test results, this tool can automatically improve the power factor value of inductive loads in the form of TL lamps and electro motors to above 0.90 and the working current value of TL lamps can be reduced from 0.30-0.31 A to 0.17-0.18 A. Electro motors experience a decrease in current from 0.74-0.76 A to 0.66-0.68 A. This tool is also equipped with a system for monitoring and recording load parameter data using Google Spreadsheet when an internet connection is available. If an internet connection is not available, the recording will be transferred using Micro-SD.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors contributing to electrical voltage instability in Auxiliary Engine No. 2 aboard MV. Hanglima. The research was motivated by operational disruptions where the voltage output dropped significantly from the standard 440V to 290V, leading to blackouts when the generator operated independently. Employing a qualitative research method utilizing the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram for root cause analysis, data was collected through onboard observation, documentation, and interviews with the engineering crew. The analysis revealed that the instability was primarily caused by mechanical failure in the alternator bearings, which had approached their operational limit, leading to an unbalanced rotor rotation. This mechanical imbalance caused friction between the rotor and stator, resulting in insulation leakage (short circuits) within the windings. Corrective measures implemented included a comprehensive overhaul, re-insulating the rotor and stator windings using insulating varnish, and replacing the worn bearings. These actions successfully restored the voltage output to a stable 445V, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the vessel's electrical system.
