About the SOMPUE Program
Switchgear faults are rare but severe, and most incidents trace back to operating error, poor isolation or neglected maintenance. The program covers circuit breaker types, switchgear construction, safe operating procedures, isolation and lockout practice, testing routines and condition based maintenance. Teams also cover arc flash risk and incident response. Delivered in-house at the client substation or live virtual, sessions follow the equipment your people actually operate so procedures transfer straight to site.
