ABSTRAK

Kesukaran kecacatan pada struktur produk boleh disebabkan oleh gabungan faktor-faktor yang banyak. Kaedah yang biasa digunakan dalam menganalisis reka bentuk semasa pemutus injap dengan menggunakan kaedah unsur terhingga. Reka bentuk injap pemutus sedia ada dicadangkan oleh syarikat amat sesuai dan terpakai untuk produk ABC Dead Clamp, Voltan Tinggi. Proses yang terlibat dalam injap Pemutus Dai Tekanan Tinggi bahawa tiada apa-apa permohonan terlalu banyak untuk menyebabkan kegagalan struktur yang tidak perlu injap pemutus. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mewujudkan reka bentuk baru pemutus injap dan menentukan sama ada nilai faktor keselamatan adalah lebih besar daripada yang boleh didapati untuk memegang dan genggaman dawai keluli tergalvani standard kuat. Dengan menggunakan Analisis Struktur Statik (ANSYS), hasil daripada analisis bagi reka bentuk baru telah dibandingkan dengan reka bentuk sedia ada mengikut kepada nilai pemalar faktor keselamatan. Dari hasil analisis tersebut, nilai minimum faktor keselamatan yang dikenali adalah rendah dan kurang daipada 1, ianya memberikan kekangan yang lengkap untuk injap pemutus. Secara ringkasnya, reka bentuk baru untuk injap pemutus memberi hasil pegangan yang terbaik dan menggenggam ABC Dead End Clamp bervoltan tinggi dengan kuat berbanding dengan reka bentuk sedia ada.

ABSTRACT

The difficulty of defects in product structure is caused by a combination of several factors. The most common method that used in analyze the current design of casting valve is using finite element method. The current design of casting valve is proposed by the company that very suitable and applicable for High Voltage ABC Dead End Clamp. The process involved in casting valve is High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) that is no application too much for the cause of structural failure in unnecessary of casting valve. The aims of this research were to create a new improved design of casting valve and determine whether the value of the safety factor is larger than one that is possible to hold and grip the galvanized standard messenger steel wire strongly. By using Static Structural Analysis (ANSYS), the result of the finite-element analysis for new improved design is compared with current design analysis according to the minimum value of the safety factor. From the result, minimum safety factor was known that is below than 1 and able to provide an improved design for casting valve. Consequently, new improved design of casting valve presents the best holding and gripping for High Voltage ABC Dead End Clamp compared to the current design.

1.2.1 Casting Valve

Casting valve is one of the parts in the HV ABC Dead End Clamp. The function of the casting valve is to hold and grip the galvanized standard messenger steel wire to support it on the spun concrete poles via HV Dead End Clamp Brackets (Single or Double). Figure 1.2 shows casting valve before make the Sample Test.

1.2.2 Tensile Test

In mechanical testing, tensile test is used as the testing to test the structural failure of casting valve. Basically, there are two classes of testing machines; electromechanical and hydraulic. Tensile test that is provided by this company is hydraulic machine. A hydraulic testing machine uses either a single- or dual-acting piston to move the crosshead up or down. (Richard Gedney, 2005)

Mechanical properties are an important measure of product quality in production line and tensile testing is a way to certify the product included to test the structure of casting valve for High Voltage ABC Dead End Clamp. Figure 1.3 shows the tensile test that used during Sample Test for Casting Valve and other product in this company.

1.2.3 Application of Casting Valve

Casting valve is one of the important parts of High Voltage ABC Dead End Clamp. Figure 1.4 shows one of the applications for High Voltage TNB distribution that is held and grip the galvanized standard messenger steel wire to support it on the spun concrete poles via HV Dead End Clamp Brackets (Single or Double).

Figure 1.4: Application of Casting Valve (Source: Jati Beringin Sdn. Bhd., 2011)

1.3 Problem statement

The Casting Valve is important and critical part of HV Dead End Clamp Bracket. In this case, the current design of the Casting Valve is failing to maintain 10% and below of the rejection rate during the Sample Test. Therefore, the product has fractured below 62kN for 60 seconds. Besides, the other problem that occurs on Casting Valve for HV ABC Dead End Clamp is not following Product Design and Development with a proper method. As a result, we need to redesign and develop new mould to make the modification for casting valve by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

From the table 1.2, the fracture of casting valve happened five times during 10 samples of casting valve is tested. It shows that the design of casting valve is failing to maintain 10% and it will be improved.
