Positron sponsors High Voltage Protection Training (HVPT) courses provided by Applied Professional Training (APT).

This course is designed to educate participants on the proper application and installation of High Voltage Isolation (HVI) equipment used to protect telecommunication circuits interfacing electric utility substations, PCS/cell sites, power plants and Public Service Access Points (i.e., PSAP's for 911 call center equipment). Students will learn how HVI equipment isolates critical telecommunication equipment from the potentially damaging affects of Ground Potential Rise (GPR) during lightning and power fault conditions.

The relative importance of each type of telecommunication circuits used by electric power companies for voice, data, control and relay protection is taught, as well as the adverse effects of circuit failures due to improper protection. Additional topics include, proper safety procedures in High Voltage environments, fundamental touch and step potentials and recognizing potential hazards of improperly installed equipment. The training focuses on practical applications, proper design, safe installation and maintenance practices of Positron's Teleline (wireline) and TeleLite (fiber optic) isolation equipment.
