CURRENT TESTER
FLIR VT8™
The FLIR VT8 is a high-quality voltage, continuity, and current
tester, ideal for electricians and service technicians who
troubleshoot and verify electrical installations or systems
within commercial and light industrial facilities. The FLIR
VT8’s optimized and open-jaw design allows it to fit into tight
spaces and reliably measure large-diameter cables. Extensive
measurement features make the FLIR VT8 a versatile tool
– just one meter can get the job done. Carry the compact
tester in your pocket to be ready at any moment for easy
troubleshooting.
Choose from two models: the FLIR VT8-600 with a CAT III-600 V
/CAT IV-300 V safety rating and a 100 A/600 V measuring
range; or the FLIR VT8-1000 with the CAT III-1000 V/CAT
IV-600 V safety rating and a 200 A/1000 V measuring range.
