Desenvolvimento e análise de um alçador de ramal isolado para o setor de ligação nova na distribuição de energia elétrica

Abstract

The electric power distribution sector is composed of high, medium, and low voltage networks. These low voltage distribution networks serve residential consumers, small commercial establishments, and public lighting. The objective of this work is to develop and analyze a prototype called the Isolated Branch Lifter, aiming for safety, convenience, and efficiency in its use. The assembly of the tool was carried out, followed by field activities in the New Connection sector with an outsourced company in Limoeiro do Norte, CE, to collect data for comparison with the equipment used by that company. After these activities and analysis, it was possible to identify positive results regarding the Branch Lifter, as it brought 100% productivity to the company, estimating an annual profit of R$16 million, in addition to providing security for the employees. In conclusion, the use of the Isolated Branch Lifter is a viable and advantageous solution for companies in the energy sector, bringing economic, safety, and sustainability benefits. The implementation of this tool can be an important strategy to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of companies in this sector.
