The Underground Grounds-Trainer™ is a portable personal protective grounding simulator designed specifically for Underground grounding applications. The Underground Grounds-Trainer™ is built upon Utility Solution's PhaseLink™ platform to offer an immersive and hands-on learning environment for all knowledge levels.

The Underground Grounds-Trainer™ teaches key concepts of grounding which include Radial vs Loop Circuits, Ground Potential Rise, Distribution of Fault Currents, Neutral Currents & Total Isolation, Soil Resistivity, EPZ, and the Resistance of Personal Protective Ground Sets. The Underground Grounds-Trainer™ also covers basic switching principles, including phasing out the open point.

Personal protective grounding is a highly complex and often misunderstood subject – because each system is unique, traditional education, textbooks and published material of this topic tends to be limited to theory, in lieu of practical, real-world scenarios. The Underground Grounds-Trainer™ bridges the gap between theory and the real-world by allowing users to change variables in real-time to illustrate the principles of grounding, proper work methods, and even recreate specific incidents.
