Can virtual reality revolutionize electrical field testing?

Can virtual reality revolutionize electrical field testing?

When we think about virtual reality (VR), most of us probably picture immersive gaming or maybe a futuristic tool for architects to walk through a building before it’s even built. But today, we’re taking those headsets straight into the field—specifically, into the world of electrical power system testing.

In this episode, Andreas Rauwolf, secondary systems expert and founder of Grid Experte Rauwolf Etec GmbH, shares his firsthand experience using VR glasses for protection relay testing.

He highlights both the practical pros and cons of wearing VR glasses on-site, identifying the "best-use" cases for current technology and the technical hurdles still to be cleared. Andreas breaks down what it’s like to interact with secondary systems through a pair of VR glasses and explains why he believes VR is set to become a standard, indispensable tool for the future of power system testing.
