I don't think there is anything that will meet this criteria. I may be wrong, but I have not seen anything that would be satisfactory. You would be better off getting specific meters for each applicationOriginally Posted by TrapFlyVenus

I would grab a Fluke Multimeter and a megger.

A Fluke 1587 and a Fluke 381 will take care of the 1kV insulation tester, multi meter and amperage testing requirements. A ground tester will need to be a separate piece of equipment.

A multifunction Installation tester like this sounds like what you are asking about:

These are not as common in the USA but used quite often in Europe. It has an integrated ground tester, 1kV megohmmeter and common voltage current options and can generate a report. You can also use it to test tripping of ground fault devices. it will save your results and then you can generate a report.

I don't know of a meter that covers everything you are looking for. Even if one exists I would be cautious of the safety and reliability. Not to mention, the whole putting all your eggs in one basket thing.
I like the Fluke 87V. I have also used the Fluke 787 because I needed voltage output for testing and calibration.
