High Voltage Switching Simulator: Introduction to the Switching Process

Working in and around substations is very dangerous, considering the fact that the entire location is rife with potential electrical and chemical hazards, even the slightest negligence can prove catastrophic. One of the most dangerous tasks is High Voltage Switching (taking equipment in and out of service for the purpose of preventative maintenance, repairs, or construction activities). What makes it so dangerous for the employee is that switching is not a common occurrence, making it difficult for employees to gain significant experience on the job. This interactive simulator will simulate this dangerous procedure, allowing companies to train their employees as often as needed, without bringing harm to learners or expensive equipment.
