Fluke 179 True RMS Digital Multimeter

Versatile meter for troubleshooting and repairing electrical and electronic systems due to this True RMS multimeter's backlit digital display, analog bar graph, and built-in temperature measurements. Additionally, this tool works well in messy, loud, high energy, and high altitude areas.

Electrical safety

All inputs are protected to measurement CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600V. This meter can withstand transient impulses in excess of 8000 V to help protect you from arc blasts resulting from surges and spikes.

Why you need a True-RMS Multimeter

Electronic loads with switching power supplies or inverters distort the ac voltage and current sine wave
Non true-rms meters can measure up to 40 % low
True-rms meters make the most accurate measurements when the sine wave is distorted

Key features of the Fluke 179 Multimeter include:

Wide 1000 V measurement range
True-rms for precise measurement of non linear signals
Capacitance, resistance, continuity and frequency
Built-in thermometer (179)
Large, easy-to-read display
Backlight for work in dim areas (177, 179)
Min/Max to record signal fluctuations
Free your hands with the optional TPAK magnetic hanger
