TAPARIA TESTER 818 – BIG

Description

The Taparia 818 is a heavy-duty, 200mm (8-inch) electrical line tester, widely known as the “big” variant compared to the pocket-sized 813 model. It is engineered for industrial, commercial, and residential applications where an extended physical reach into deep electrical enclosures is required.

Key Features

• Live Current Glow: Houses a bright neon indicator lamp that illuminates instantly to identify a live phase wire.Industrial Handle:
• Moulded from tough, non-flammable yellow Cellulose Acetate which safely shrugs off water, grease, and shop oils.
• 1 Mega-Ohm Shock Protection: Features a built-in resistor limiting potential leakage current to a perfectly safe level, shielding the user from accidental feedback shocks.
• Extended Physical Reach: At 200mm in overall length, this variant gives users extra distance and leveraging space when probing deep-set junction boxes, industrial panels, or high-overhead lines.
• Reinforced Steel Rod: Forged using premium silicon-manganese alloy steel that is differentially hardened to handle stubborn terminal screws without twisting or rounding off.
• Thick PVC Insulation Sleeve: The metal blade is entirely jacketed in a high-voltage insulation sleeve to avoid dangerous bridging shorts if the tool bumps against adjacent wires.

Safety Reminder

Just like the smaller version, remember to keep your bare fingers strictly on the insulated yellow handle while inserting the metal tip into a socket. Touch the exposed metal grounding clip at the very top of the handle with your thumb to complete the earth circuit and light up the neon bulb.
