Full Function Digital Multimeter True RMS 1000V AC/DC 20A

About.

The Vartech V 8222 G is a heavy-duty True RMS digital multimeter designed for high-voltage electrical work where safety is the primary concern. Its standout capability is the combination of LIVE wire testing and Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) detection with simultaneous audio and visual indication - making it the safest choice for panel testing, switchgear inspection and MV/LV distribution work where live conductors must be positively identified before making contact. With 1000 V AC/DC, 20 A and auto-ranging capacitance and frequency measurement, it is the complete instrument for the high-voltage electrical professional.

• LIVE wire testing with NCV - audio and visual indication simultaneously; positively identifies energised conductors before contact, the most critical safety check in panel work
• True RMS up to 1000 V AC/DC - measures at the highest distribution voltages correctly, including on non-sinusoidal waveforms from UPS, generators and inverter systems
• Mains frequency measurement in the 1000 V AC range - verify supply frequency directly at HV panel terminals without stepping down to a lower voltage point
• Auto-ranging capacitance (6 nF to 20 mF) and frequency (10 Hz to 20 MHz) - broad measurement coverage without manual range selection
• 20 A AC/DC current measurement - suitable for motor feeds, feeder cables and heavy load testing
• Temperature measurement from −20 °C to 1000 °C - extends the meter into thermal and environmental diagnostics
• Transistor (hFE), diode and continuity test - component-level diagnosis built into a high-voltage field meter
