PERBANDINGAN KINERJA SISTEM PENGISIAN FULLWAVE DAN HALFWAVE TERHADAP OUTPUT KUAT ARUS YANG DIHASILKAN PADA SEPEDA MOTOR RC 100

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to empirically compare the performance of the full-wave and half-wave charging systems on a Suzuki RC 100 motorcycle. This study aimed to determine the modification process of the electrical system from half-wave to full-wave and to analyze which charging system produces the highest and most stable current (Amperes) and voltage (Voltage).The research method used was an experimental method with a quantitative approach. The experimental design used was a pre-experimental design in the form of a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design on one Suzuki RC 100 motorcycle. Data were collected through direct measurements of current and voltage at varying engine speeds (RPM) using a voltmeter and ammeter. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA.The test results showed that the full-wave charging system produced higher current and voltage than the half-wave system at all engine speed variations. In the Half-Wave system, the charging current increases from 1.8 A at 1000 RPM to 3.3 A at 5000 RPM, while the voltage increases from 12.00 V to 13.87 V. After being modified to Full-Wave, the charging current increases from 2.2 A at 1000 RPM to 5.3 A at 5000 RPM, while the voltage increases from 12.03 V to 14.63 V. The fullwave system is proven to be more efficient and stable because it is able to utilize both sides of the alternating current wave.
