Arc Flash (Office)

In this simulation, you take on the role of an electrician tasked with identifying arc flash risks, analyzing work permits, and performing safe equipment shutdowns. The module guides you through every critical step—understanding task requirements, reading circuit diagrams, choosing correct PPE, checking voltage, using different meter modes, and executing a full lockout/tagout sequence. You’ll also test for voltage and electric fields, barricade the perimeter, and isolate high-powered machinery such as electric pumps. If procedures are not followed correctly in Training or Exam mode, an arc flash will occur, emphasizing the importance of every safety step.

What You’ll Learn

• Arc flash risk awareness and hazard response
• Selection and use of PPE for electrical safety
• Safe use of meters and voltage testing
• Lockout/tagout procedures and verification
• Electrical equipment isolation and site preparation
• Task planning using circuit diagrams and work permits

The VR Experience

Begin by selecting your learning module and choosing between Learning, Training, or Exam mode. The simulation starts with reviewing a detailed work permit and analyzing schematics and warning labels. You'll then select the correct PPE and tools, assess site conditions, and perform a complete lockout/tagout procedure. Voltage and electrical field testing are required to confirm safe conditions before shutting down the equipment. Any mistakes during Training or Exam mode result in an arc flash, reinforcing proper procedures through immersive feedback. The experience offers a realistic simulation of arc flash scenarios, complete LOTO training, full PPE and voltage testing workflows, and dynamic responses tied directly to user actions.
