Development of Load Break Tool Training Simulation

High-voltage electrical systems pose significant risks, making proper training crucial. This paper presents the development of a Load Break Tool (LBT) training simulation designed to enhance safety and operational proficiency by using data from real tools, documents, and video materials to create a digital version of the LBT and environment. The simulation allows trainees to safely practice tasks like positioning, attaching the anchor, hooking the pull-ring, and disconnecting circuits in an interactive 3D environment, accessible via web browsers on desktop and mobile devices. User feedback supports its ease of access and value for pre-hands-on training, with future research suggested into AR/VR/MR technology.
