Pelatihan Sistem Motor Penggerak pada Mobil Listrik di SMK Sasmita Jaya 2

Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi kendaraan listrik di Indonesia menuntut peningkatan kompetensi sumber daya manusia, khususnya pada bidang teknik otomotif dan kelistrikan. Salah satu komponen utama kendaraan listrik adalah sistem motor penggerak yang berfungsi mengubah energi listrik menjadi energi mekanik. Namun, pemahaman siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan mengenai sistem motor penggerak mobil listrik masih terbatas akibat minimnya pelatihan dan praktik secara langsung. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dilaksanakan di SMK Sasmita Jaya 2 dengan tujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan siswa mengenai sistem motor penggerak pada mobil listrik. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan melalui penyampaian materi teori, demonstrasi alat, praktik langsung, serta diskusi interaktif. Materi pelatihan meliputi pengenalan kendaraan listrik, prinsip kerja motor listrik, jenis-jenis motor penggerak, sistem kontrol motor, serta perawatan dan keselamatan kerja pada kendaraan listrik. Peserta kegiatan terdiri dari siswa program keahlian teknik kendaraan ringan dan teknik listrik. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test serta pengamatan keterampilan praktik peserta selama pelatihan berlangsung. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta terhadap sistem motor penggerak mobil listrik. Peserta mampu mengenali komponen utama motor listrik, memahami prinsip kerja sistem penggerak, serta melakukan simulasi pengoperasian dan pemeriksaan dasar sistem motor listrik kendaraan. Selain itu, kegiatan ini meningkatkan motivasi siswa dalam mempelajari teknologi kendaraan ramah lingkungan dan memberikan wawasan mengenai perkembangan industri otomotif berbasis energi listrik. Dengan demikian, kegiatan PKM ini memberikan kontribusi positif dalam mendukung peningkatan kompetensi siswa SMK di bidang teknologi kendaraan listrik serta memperkuat kesiapan lulusan menghadapi perkembangan industri otomotif modern.

ABSTRACT

The development of electric vehicle technology in Indonesia necessitates an enhancement of human resource competencies, particularly in the fields of automotive engineering and electrical systems. A key component of electric vehicles is the drive motor system, which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. However, vocational high school students' understanding of electric car drive motor systems remains limited due to a lack of training and hands-on practice. Consequently, this Community Service (PKM) activity was conducted at SMK Sasmita Jaya 2 with the aim of improving students' knowledge and skills regarding electric car drive motor systems. The activity was implemented through theoretical instruction, equipment demonstrations, hands-on practice, and interactive discussions. The training material covered an introduction to electric vehicles, electric motor operating principles, types of drive motors, motor control systems, and maintenance and workplace safety for electric vehicles. Participants included students from the Light Vehicle Engineering and Electrical Engineering programs. Evaluation was conducted via pre-tests and post-tests, as well as by observing participants' practical skills during the training. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants' understanding of electric car drive motor systems. Participants were able to identify key electric motor components, understand the operating principles of the drive system, and perform simulations of the operation and basic inspection of the vehicle's electric motor system. Furthermore, the activity boosted student motivation to learn about eco-friendly vehicle technology and provided insights into the development of the electric-based automotive industry. Thus, this PKM activity contributes positively to enhancing the competence of vocational students in electric vehicle technology and strengthens graduates' readiness to face the evolution of the modern automotive industry.
