Best Fluke Multimeters

The Fluke 1587FC is not the cheapest option from the said company but that is because, just as the title suggests, what you get isn't just a full-fledged digital multimeter but also an insulation tester in a single tool. With the help of the Fluke Connect Measurements app, the model provides four additional diagnostic functions. First, there are the PI/DAR timed ratio tests that incorporate the TrendIt TM graphs in order to identify moisture and contaminate insulation problems. The said app also offers memory storage, so you won't have to write down results on your own. A solution like that doesn't just reduce errors but also helps you save data for historical tracking over time. By the way, that historical tracking, as well as trending of assets, does an exceptional job when it comes to identifying degradation over time. And if you don't mind spending a few extra bucks on the Fluke Connect Assets, you'll be able to use that data in order to make real-time decisions in the field. Finally, the last diagnostic function that the app offers is the temperature compensation that provides the ability to establish accurate baselines and relevant historical comparisons.

Setting the application aside, what we have here is your standard Fluke multimeter with thermocouple. All of the safety measurements are there and so are the standard convenience features such as a backlit display, an overmolded casing, a kickstand, or an automatic shut off function. So, in conclusion, the Fluke 1587FC Insulation Multimeter is just about the only meter on the market that offers a high-performance DMM, a state-of-the-art insulation tester, and wireless connectivity for sharing and tracking results all in a single product.

Although Fluke multimeters are known for their accuracy, the Fluke 87V industrial multimeter may be their best product when it comes to providing the sort of accuracy and advanced troubleshooting capabilities that you need in your professional life. The model was specifically designed for some of the most complex signals, so you will be able to receive accurate measurements even in loud, high energy, and high altitude locations.

What makes this tool so special is mostly the selectable filter that delivers accurate voltage and frequency measurements on adjustable speed motor drives and other electrically noisy equipment. Of course, it is also the built-in thermometer. Since the TC probe is included in the package, that built-in thermometer will provide you with the ability to take temperature readings. Plus, you won't have to carry around an additional instrument, which is always a plus. All in all, the model does not lack one bit when it comes to the overall performance. The 10,000 µF capacitance range for components and motor caps is impressive in its own right and so is the 0.05% DC accuracy. Finally, we would be remiss to wrap this review up without bringing up the dual display resolution. Offering 6,000 or 20,000 counts, the model will allow you to see small changes in displayed readings.

To rephrase our earlier point, the Fluke 87V may very well prove to be the best industrial multimeter from the titular company when it comes to advanced troubleshooting capabilities and the kind of accuracy that you simply won't be able to find anywhere else.

There are a couple of features that define the Fluke 117. First comes the fact that what we have here is a Fluke true RMS multimeter, meaning that you will be able to obtain accurate measurements on non-linear loads. Then, there's the VoltAlert™ technology that does wonders when it comes to non-contact voltage detection. As you would imagine, the said technology will help you get the job done a lot quicker compared to a regular digital multimeter since it simplifies a variety of different tasks in electrical work.

Aside from the model's convenience, we would also like to mention a couple of things that improve its performance. For instance, there's the low input impedance that further improves the already impressive ability of this instrument to prevent false readings that tend to happen due to ghost voltage. There's also the AutoVolt technology that offers automatic AC/DC voltage selection. Other nice little features that contribute both to the model's performance and its convenience are the Min/Max/Average readings that measure frequency and capacitance.

Now, in terms of design, the compact ergonomic body of this Fluke multimeter makes it perfect for one-handed operation. And the sizable display with LED backlighting will allow you to work in poorly lit areas. To sum it all up, the model in question is easily one of the most suitable choices for all kinds of electricians but especially those who need a capable instrument for some of the more demanding settings like commercial buildings, hospitals, and schools.

As the title suggests, the Fluke 179/EDA2 is a combo kit that we would easily recommend to any professional electrician who wouldn't just like to acquire a new multimeter but also to replace the old tools with the new ones. In addition to the instrument itself, you will receive the Fluke TL224 silicone test leads, Fluke Tl910 electronic test probes that incorporate replacement tips, and Fluke AC280 heavy-duty hook clips. On top of that, you'll also get the Fluke 80bk, an integrated temperature probe, and the Fluke C35, which is a durable and lightweight carrying case.

Of course, that is an impressive package, but it wouldn't be worth much if the Fluke multimeter itself wasn't up to par. Fortunately enough, that isn't the case here. The model in question may not be the most exceptional offer from the company but it includes just about everything that you need to successfully troubleshoot and fix issues with electrical and electronic systems. You will have at your disposal a fairly impressive range of frequency and capacitance measurements as well as resistance, continuity, and diode measurements. Furthermore, in addition to the standard multimeter capabilities, the model provides a digital display with an analog bar graph and built-in temperature measurements. Its accuracy is up there with some of the best Fluke multimeters on the market. And, naturally, not dissimilar to those multimeters, the instrument has been tested for safe use in CAT IV 600 V/CAT III 1000 V environments.

Again, what we have here is a fairly simple choice. If you're a professional electrician who isn't just looking to purchase a new multimeter but would also like to replace some of your older tools, there is really no reason not to give the Fluke 179/EDA2 Industrial Electronics Multimeter Combo Kit a try.

The first thing that sticks out about the Fluke 101 is definitely its price. Coming at about 50 bucks, the instrument costs about 4 times less than your average Fluke multimeter. So, naturally, it doesn't boast some of the same characteristics and features. But it does get the job done and that's more than enough for its price. Though the model is essentially designed for basic electrical tests, what it has in store should be enough to satisfy most professionals, with reliable measurements for residential or commercial electricians and heating and air conditioning technicians.

Aside from the more than passable performance, the Fluke digital multimeter comes equipped with a few convenient features that are usually reserved for the more expensive models, like the auto power-saving mode or the automatic range selection. The instrument also incorporates the data hold feature that makes it easier to read the measurement results. Having said all of that, if there's one thing that the model has on those more expensive instruments, it is the compact size. With 5.1 x 1.1 x 2.6 inches in overall dimensions and about 10 ounces in weight, you could easily fit this thing into your pocket and carry it with you without being inconvenienced by the size or the weight.

All in all, we would recommend the Fluke 101 for anybody whose job involves basic electrical tests. From residential or commercial electricians to heating and air conditioning technicians, this instrument will fit any one of those professionals on a budget.
