COURSE OVERVIEW
Ensure workers have the capability to safely perform substation maintenance
This virtual reality experience provides maintenance crews with a safe way to practice maintaining substation equipment while reacting to hazards in a realistic virtual environment. The trainee will learn appropriate use of safety PPE, electrical panel rack out, fuse removal, and arc flash boundary determination. The electrical safety scenarios are based on OSHA guidelines. Employees learn step-by-step the proper skills, techniques, and tools and are assessed on using them at substations to avoid electrical accidents.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
This comprehensive curriculum is divided into six structured learning modules designed to build an unshakeable baseline of high-voltage field competence:
- Electrical Safety Training: A fully guided interactive walkthrough establishing core compliance concepts, hazard identification vectors, and substation layout orientation.
- Electrical Safety PPE Training: Hands-on sourcing, structural integrity inspection, donning, and doffing of voltage-rated insulated gloves, leather protectors, arc-flash suits, and face shields.
- Electrical Panel Rack Out Training: Step-by-step physical execution of racking out high-voltage circuit breakers from active switchgear enclosures.
- Electrical LT Panel Fuse Removal Training: Mastering Low-Tension (LT) panel isolation, secondary circuit extraction, and standard Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) device application.
- Arc Flash Training: Practical calculation of incident energy values to accurately establish, map, and flag clear arc flash boundary perimeters on the shop floor
