Simulators
This VR module trains staff to work safely near electrical equipment and recognise arc flash risk. Trainees read approach boundaries, choose arc-rated PPE and practise safe isolation.
01 — Simulators
How shock and arc flash injure, and where each risk exists.
Read equipment labels and stay outside the right boundary.
Choose clothing and face protection rated for the task.
Isolate, prove dead and lock out before work.
02 — In depth
Electrical incidents can cause shock, burns and blast injuries in a fraction of a second. Many happen during routine tasks such as testing or racking breakers.
Practising on live equipment is never acceptable for training. Yet workers need to rehearse the checks that keep them safe near it.
A virtual reality electrical safety simulator lets trainees approach live panels and switchgear safely. Every decision is tested with no voltage present.
Shock happens when current passes through the body. Arc flash releases intense heat and pressure when current jumps through the air.
The module shows where each hazard exists in a substation or panel room. Trainees learn which tasks carry arc flash risk.
Equipment labels show the hazard level and approach boundaries. Trainees read the label before approaching any panel.
They then stay outside the right boundary for their training and PPE. Crossing a boundary without protection is flagged at once.
Arc-rated clothing, face shields and gloves are matched to the task's hazard level. Trainees choose from a virtual PPE store.
Wrong or incomplete PPE is shown clearly in the debrief. Trainees learn why everyday clothing can make burns worse.
Before work, trainees isolate the circuit, lock it out and test for absence of voltage. They test the tester before and after use.
This sequence is simple but often rushed in real work. Repeating it in VR builds the habit of never skipping a step.
Trainees often cross a boundary without PPE, skip testing the tester or assume a circuit is dead because a switch is off. Each one is a common cause of real injuries.
The module flags each error at the moment it happens. The trainer then explains the safe alternative before the trainee continues.
Electrical safety training pairs with the lockout/tagout module. Safe isolation is the step that protects workers from both shock and arc flash.
Electricians working under permits should also take the permit to work module. Electrical permits often link to isolation certificates and test records.
A typical electrical and arc flash session takes ten to twenty minutes in a standalone VR headset. A short briefing comes first, then the virtual task, then a debrief with the trainer.
Sessions run in a training room, a site office or a corner of the shop floor. Each trainee needs only a clear area of about two by two metres.
Trainers can run several headsets at once and watch each trainee's view on a tablet. That keeps a group moving through the module in one shift.
We build for standalone headsets such as Meta Quest 3, so no PC or cables are needed. Culenz can supply, set up and maintain the headset fleet for you.
Voice-over and on-screen text are produced in the languages your workforce uses, which we agree at scoping. Simple visual cues help workers who read little.
Every attempt is logged with the trainee's name, score, time and errors. Records export to your LMS through SCORM or xAPI, or as a spreadsheet for audits.
Culenz is a virtual reality company headquartered in Jaipur, with offices in Secunderabad and Dubai. We build VR training for plants and sites across India and the UAE.
One team scripts the electrical and arc flash module with your EHS team, builds it, installs it and supports it. You deal with one contact from the first demo to the last refresher.
Many sites start the electrical and arc flash module as a pilot with one department or shift. That shows how workers respond before a full rollout.
A pilot also tests practical details, such as where headsets are stored and who runs sessions. Those answers shape the wider rollout plan.
At the end, we review results with your EHS team and agree the next steps. Most sites then add more modules or more headsets.
Cost depends mainly on how much is custom. A library module with your branding costs less than one set in a full model of your site.
The number of scenarios, languages and headsets also matters. Annual support and content updates can be added as a separate maintenance plan.
We share an itemised quote after a short scoping call. Content, hardware and support are listed separately, so you see what each part costs.
03 — FAQs
Arc flash is an explosive release of energy when current jumps through the air between conductors. It can cause severe burns and blast injuries at a distance. NFPA 70E is a widely used US standard for electrical safety and arc flash protection.
We script the module from your site's electrical safety rules. Where useful, we refer to recognised standards such as NFPA 70E for arc flash and approach boundaries. Your electrical safety officer approves the content before release.
Yes. We model your panels, switchgear and labels from photos and drawings. Trainees then practise on equipment that looks exactly like what they work on every day, including your lockout points.
No. Electricians gain the most, but operators, maintenance staff and contractors who work near electrical equipment also benefit. They learn which boundaries apply to them and when to stop and call a qualified person.
Yes. High-voltage switching scenarios can be added for authorised persons, following your switching programme format. Trainees practise the switching sequence, the safety checks and every call with the control room.
