Distribution transformers play a critical role in delivering electrical energy from medium-voltage networks to low-voltage consumers. At ULP Medan Kota, several distribution transformers have been operating with loads exceeding 80% of their nominal capacity, posing risks of overloading, efficiency reduction, and equipment failure. This study aims to analyze the performance of distribution transformers based on actual load data and evaluate mitigation strategies through the implementation of additional parallel transformers (trafo sisip). The methodology includes data collection, load and current calculation, and simulation of load distribution after transformer insertion. The results show that the installation of trafo sisip reduces the load on the main transformer by approximately 50% and significantly lowers the current to safer levels. Moreover, placing the trafo sisip at an optimal position minimizes voltage drop to as low as 0.0745 Volts. Therefore, the addition of trafo sisip is proven to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and operational life of the power distribution system at ULP Medan Kota.
