Development of Miniature Secondary Network of Electric Power Distribution System as a Learning Media for Electrical Engineering Students

Abstract

This study aimed to produced a miniature type of primary network that is valid and practical electric power distribution in the lecture of the Electric Power Distribution System of the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Padang State University. The type of research used is R & D (Research & Development) methods. This research is a product development research that uses Borg and Gall's research procedure. Research Subjects were students of Electrical Engineering Education S1 Study Program who attended lectures on the Electric Power Distribution System. The test results obtained are learning media categorized as valid as a medium after being validated by 3 expert validators, amounting to 91% meaning that the media has fulfilled the validation aspects, namely the content and purpose components, instructional and technical get very valid categories. Practical level of miniature primary network type of electric power distribution obtained after a limited trial of 95%. Thus the designed media can be categorized as valid and practical to use in learning.
