1.2 About this Guide
This guide introduces and describe to you the operation of Positron’s Live Line High Voltage
Tester used as a maintenance tool to test and report defects in Porcelain and Composite
(Polymeric) Insulators and for use as a safety tool to determine the condition of high-voltage
insulators prior to beginning Live-Power Line work.
1.3 How to use this Guide
