Description
The FLIR VT8-1000 Voltage, Continuity and Current Tester is an open-jaw electrical tester that measures voltage, continuity, and current up to 200 A without breaking the circuit or fishing out test leads for every check.
The VT8-1000 handles AC/DC voltage to 1000 V with true-RMS accuracy, resistance, and diode/continuity tests, and its slim open jaw slides onto conductors in crowded panels. A built-in worklight, CAT IV-300 V / CAT III-1000 V rating, and pocketable form make it the first-grab tester for service calls.
- Your go-to troubleshooting electrical tester with True RMS AC/DC voltage and current, continuity, resistance, and capacitance
- Optimized open-jaw design takes measurements in tight spaces and measures large-diameter cables with the 15.5 mm jaw opening
- VT8-1000 model rated CAT III-1000 V / CAT IV-600 V with 200 A / 1000 V measuring ranges
- Built-in non-contact voltage (NCV) detector finds live circuits quickly for safety sweeps
- Bright LED worklight and backlit 6000-count display for poorly lit job sites
- Built-in test lead holder stows leads when not in use
- Compact, pocket-carried, one-handed ergonomic design with offset thumb-selector dial for gloved operation
Typical Applications
- Electrical service calls
- Panel troubleshooting
- HVAC service
- General voltage and current checks
