Analisis Pengaruh Modifikasi Penambahan Grounding Cable RS-1 Pada Engine Wiring System Terhadap Efisiensi Bahan Bakar Mobil Hemat Energi Urate Evo-7 Pandawa Team

Abstrak

One strategy to address the scarcity of fossil fuel energy sources is to conduct research and development aimed at improving fuel consumption efficiency. The development for fuel efficiency involves optimizing the engine management system, particularly the ignition system, so that the fuel entering the combustion chamber can burn completely. This study employs an experimental method by modifying the installation of three types of RS-1 grounding cables to achieve the most efficient fuel consumption. The testing was conducted in two types: static and dynamic. Static testing is conducted on the engine at a certain rpm without applying load to the engine output. Dynamic testing is conducted on the engine to reach a speed of 35 km/h under the load of the vehicle’s weight. The application of RS-1 branded grounding cables affects fuel efficiency during static testing by 10%; in addition, vehicle acceleration to peak speed also increases, thus fuel consumption from speed 0–35 km/h decreases with the highest reduction of 13%. The application of the cable during the 2024 competition showed a performance increase of 70%, with the RS-1 grounding cable contributing 13% efficiency. Keywords: Engine wiring system, Fuel efficiency, Grounding cable.
