Description
Product Overview
The Fluke 87V is an industrial‑grade true RMS multimeter designed for professionals who demand accuracy and durability. Housed in a rugged yellow case, it measures voltage, current, resistance, frequency and continuity with CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V safety ratings. A high‑resolution display offers 6,000 to 20,000 counts, while the built‑in low‑pass filter ensures accurate frequency readings on adjustable speed drives. Powered by four AA alkaline batteries (included), the unit weighs just 1.3 lb and measures 9.49 × 6.5 × 3.5 in, making it portable for field work.
Usage
Engineers, electricians and maintenance technicians rely on the 87V for troubleshooting industrial equipment, HVAC systems, motor controls and power distribution panels. Its fast 250 µs peak capture records intermittent spikes, enabling precise diagnostics on variable‑frequency drives and inverter‑fed motors. The device operates reliably up to 2,000 m altitude, making it suitable for construction sites, factories, and outdoor installations where temperature can reach 752 °F.
