Abstract

A test bay or training bay is a facility which is used to conduct training on installation, inspection and maintenance of Explosion Protection (Ex) electrical equipment in hazardous areas. Specifically, this equipment can avoid maximum explosion even when it is exposed in hazardous area. However, without proper training the installation and inspection of the equipment may faulty. In industry, test bay is used to provide training service for candidates to gain their certificate of ISO to work in actual fieldwork. Majority of worker's industries that are exposed to the hazardous environment likes oil and gas industry needs training. This study focuses on the current test bay that is not mobile and portable. The service location will be limited, the service also restricted to one place only. In order to eradicate this problem, test bay need to be mobile and portable. Several analyses of product need to be done to generate innovative test bay with simple assembly part, user friendly and ergonomic toward user 's body posture. To make sure that the entire plan is going smoothly, time management and good planning must be priority. This study gains suitable design that can be considerate as a mobile structure. The design consists of adjustment height for user comfortability with wheel attach for easy movement and equipment cover as protection. Analysis of FEA and RULA gain shows that the design meets the target and safe for used. The material uses for body structure are suitable with adequate strength and lightest compare with others material. This perforated sheet can attach 4 electrical equipment with extra space for cable gland bending. The total weight of the test bay is heavy due to the equipment itself and materials use, however this lack can be ignored since this size of mobile test bay still can be carried by truck vehicle. To increase the stability of test bay, the mass of the structure need to be heavy to avoid the test bay from fall. This study show that test bay is mobilized but not portable because of the weight
