Switchboard Operations
Safely operating a switchboard is essential to preventing electrical hazards and maintaining reliable facility operations. Electrical switchboards serve as central distribution points within commercial and industrial systems, requiring procedural accuracy and strong safety awareness.
This immersive virtual reality course guides participants through hands-on interaction with an electrical switchboard in a safe, controlled environment. Learners build practical operational knowledge and confidence before transitioning to live equipment.
What You’ll Learn
The primary goal of this course is to educate participants on switchboard components and proper operating procedures.
- Opening and closing the switchboard safely
- Understanding the purpose and utilization of feeder breakers
- Operating and utilizing protective relays
- Removing panels to perform a live-dead-live test
- Locating and identifying key switchboard components
This simulation reinforces safe work practices while strengthening understanding of electrical distribution systems.
