Grounding simulation models for training linemen and other power or utility technicians are disclosed. The grounding simulation models can be configured to provide equipotential zone (EPZ) grounding training for high voltage electric power transmission. In some instances, the grounding simulation models can include a power pole assembly including power poles, a top conductor, a middle conductor, a bottom conductor and an optical ground wire (OPGW). In some instances, the grounding simulation models can include a lineman meter configured to emulate a utility worker operating on high voltage electric power lines. In some instances, the grounding simulation model can include step leads that can be positioned anywhere along a matrix pattern on a mounting board, wherein the step leads are configured to demonstrate step and touch potential. In some instances, the grounding simulation models can include a model wire puller and insulation and isolation platforms.
