Fluke 179 True RMS Digital Multimeter
Versatile meter for maintenance, field service and bench repair.The Fluke 179 True-rms digital multimeter has the features needed to find most electrical and HVAC problems. Simple to use with significant improvements like True-rms, frequency, capacitance, temperature and min-max record.
The Fluke 179 has more measurement functions, conformance to the latest safety standards, and a much larger display with backlight that’s easier to view.
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
