Abstract
Increasing the use of electricity every year always occurs, as well as an increase in the construction of substations and distribution substations as a means of PLN electricity transmission. The process of maintaining and installing substations and distribution substations certainly has a very high risk that can sometimes be deadly. The workers who are going to perform maintenance and installation of the electricity network require qualifications to work at a place that is at a height. These qualifications make Electrical Engineering students have a lesson about the installation of electricity networks where they will try to climb the electricity poles to do the electrical network installation. For that we need an application that can use virtual reality technology so that students and students can learn the process of installing the electricity network more safely, before they go straight into the field. This application was created using Unity 2019 software, which can produce mobile-based programs both in the android operating system. This research will use 360 video which will illustrate how the process of climbing to the top of the electricity pole and the process of installing the electricity network. This study aims to build a simulation application of electrical network installation using virtual reality technology, which is expected to provide an overview and simulation for Electrical Engineering students so that the learning process is safer and more controlled.
