Is the arrester on pole 47 in the eastern feeder functional or damaged? What conductor type and cross-section runs on the third level of that pole, and does the network configuration match what's in the asset register? These are the questions that a distribution network audit answers — and that field inspection without structured data recording can't answer tomorrow.
Pole Identity and Safety Equipment
No Tiang is the pole identifier — the number that links the inspection record to the pole's location in the network map and to all prior inspection records. Tipe Tiang (pole type) — concrete, wood, steel — determines the inspection protocol and the expected service life. Kondisi (condition) is the field-assessed structural and equipment status.
Arrester and Pemutus (circuit breaker) are the two protection equipment fields. Surge arresters protect downstream equipment from lightning-induced voltage surges — a damaged arrester that hasn't been replaced leaves the transformer and customer equipment exposed. The circuit breaker (recloser or fuse cutout) is the fault isolation device. An arrester or breaker that's damaged, missing, or in the wrong operational position is a network safety deficiency that needs to be recorded and remediated.
Penyulang (feeder line) identifies which primary distribution feeder the pole belongs to — the circuit-level identification that determines load management and fault isolation responsibility.
Multi-Level Conductor Specification
Tkt 1 Nama through Tkt 4 Nama, Tkt 1 Jenis Penghantar through Tkt 4 Jenis Penghantar, and Tkt 1 Luas Penampang through Tkt 4 Luas Penampang document up to four conductor levels on a single pole. Distribution poles in Indonesian urban areas often carry multiple voltages across multiple levels — medium voltage primary distribution at the top level, low-voltage secondary at the next level, streetlighting conductors, and communications cables on lower levels.
Conductor type (AAAC, AAC, ABC, bare copper) and cross-sectional area (70mm², 150mm², etc.) determine the current-carrying capacity and fault current rating. An audit that records only the presence of conductors without their specification creates an incomplete asset record. A conductor that's undersized for its loading generates heat and creates a fire risk that's invisible until a fault occurs.
Switch Asset Records
The template includes four repeated switch record blocks (Nama, No Seri, Merk, Tipe, Posisi Switch, Kondisi, Photo) for poles that carry switching equipment — load break switches, sectionalizing switches, or automatic reclosers. Each switch block records the device identity, its current switch position, and its physical condition. Switch position recording — normally open or normally closed — is critical for network restoration after a fault: the switching diagram used during restoration depends on the documented normal configuration.
Petugas 1 and Petugas 2 identify the field technicians who conducted the audit. The two-person requirement reflects the safety protocols for work involving energized distribution equipment. Catatan (notes) and Photo complete each pole record with the narrative and photographic evidence.
