ABSTRACT

BASO SOKONG. A Study on the Possibility of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Utilization as an Alternative of Transformer Oil (supervised by Salama Manjang and Firman AP).

The rapid development of electrical power utility system in the region requires alternative sources of transformer oil. One possible alternative is the Crude Palm Oil (CPO). This research is to study the electrical, physical and chemical properties of the CPO and to determine its compliance with the SPLN (the standard required by the Indonesian Electrical Power Company, PLN). 

Experiments show that the electrical properties of the CPO including the breakdown voltage of ... Volt, the dielectric loss factor of ... and the conductivity of ... Siemens, all meet the requirement. On the other hand, the physical properties including the clarity of ... the density of ... and the viscosity of .......... do not comply with the standard. The flaming point of ........... is as twice as the minimum point required by the SPLN. An analysis by titration method has shown that the water content of ......... meets the requirement, while the neutrality (???) grade of ............ indicating the (asam lemak bebas) content of ... is extremely too large, i.e. 6 (six) times as required by SPLN.

Keterangan: titik-titiknya tolong diisi dengan angka-angka yang diperoleh dari penelitian, jangan lupa satuannya kalo’ ada, pak Baso, makasih.
