Abstract


Abstrak 

Listrik merupakan kebutuhan pokok energi yang banyak digunakan sebagai penunjang kehidupan manusia. Segala peralatan dari berbagai bidang teknologi dan rumah tangga dalam pengoperasiannya membutuhkan energi listrik. Mayoritas masyarakat masih mengandalkan PLN sebagai sumber utama penyedia energi listrik. Rupiah tagihan listrik berbanding lurus dengan tarif dasar listrik dan jumlah energi listrik yang dikonsumsi dalam kWh. Variabel yang dapat diubah untuk menekan tagihan listrik adalah pada sisi konsumsi energi. Oleh karena itu berbagai upaya dilakukan dalam rangka melakukan penghematan listrik. Banyak alat-alat baru yang beredar di masyarakat dengan embel-embel dapat melakukan penghematan listrik salah satunya adalah electricity saving box. Pengaruh alat electricity saving box sebagai alat penghemat listrik perlu dikaji. Urgensitas dan kelayakan alat dapat diketahui melalui pengukuran dan pengujian langsung. Harapannya pelanggan PLN dapat melakukan perhitungan mandiri terkait efisiensi penggunaan energi listrik dan biaya investasi alat. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan penggunaan electricity saving box justru dapat meningkatkan konsumsi energi listrik beban rumah tangga sebesar 21%.


Abstract 

Electricity is a basic energy need widely used to support human life. All equipment in various fields of technology and household operations requires electrical energy. The majority of the public still relies on PLN (State Electricity Company) as the main source of electricity supply. The electricity bill is directly proportional to the basic electricity rate and the amount of electrical energy consumed in kWh. The variable that can be altered to reduce the electricity bill is the energy consumption side. Therefore, various efforts are made to save electricity. Many new devices circulating in the community claim to save electricity, one of which is the electricity saving box. The impact of the electricity saving box as an energy-saving device needs to be studied. The urgency and feasibility of the device can be determined through direct measurement and testing. It is hoped that PLN customers can independently calculate the efficiency of electricity use and the investment cost of the device. The test results show that using an electricity saving box can increase household energy consumption by 21%.
