Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter

Built like a brick, the most trustworthy meter I’ve ever worked with my last 30 years in both professional (radar installations etc.) and private (amateur radio stuff etc.) troubleshooting electric and electronic devices…

Designed to Identify Complex Signal Problems Fast

When productivity is on the line and you need to solve problems fast, the Fluke 87V delivers the accuracy and advanced troubleshooting capabilities you need. Designed specifically to handle complex signals, the 87V industrial multimeter, allows you to gain productivity by taking the guesswork out of drive system troubleshooting even in loud, high energy, and high altitude locations.

o Accurate frequency measurements on adjustable speed drives (ASD) due to Fluke-designed low-pass filter
o Built-in thermometer allows temperature measurements without a separate thermometer
o Peak Min/Max allows capture of intermittents as fast 250 µS
o Dual display resolution – 6000 or 20,000 counts – lets you see small changes in displayed readings
o CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V safety rated
o Designed and built in the U.S.A.
o Lifetime warranty

The Fluke 87V – Just One of Fluke’s Trusted Tools

Fluke builds the most trusted tools in the world and that means more than just the Fluke 87V.

o Unique function for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on adjustable speed motor drives and other electrically noisy equipment
o Built-in thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings without having to carry a separate instrument
o Optional magnetic hanger for easy set-up and viewing while freeing your hands for other tasks
o Large digit display with bright, two-level backlight makes the 87V significantly easier to read than older models
o True RMS AC voltage and current for accurate measurements on non linear signals
o Selectable filter for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on motor drives
o 0.05% DC accuracy
o 6000 counts, 3-3/4 digits
o 4-1/2 digit mode for precise measurements (20,000 counts)
o Measure up to 1000 VAC and DC
o Measure up to 10 A, 20 A for up to 30 seconds
o Built in thermometer lets you carry one less tool (TC probe included)
o Frequency to 200 kHz and % duty cycle
o Resistance, continuity and diode test
o 10,000 µF capacitance range for components and motor caps
o Min/Max-Average recording with Min/Max Alert to capture variations automatically

Electrical safety

All inputs are updated to the 3rd edition of ANSI/ISA S82.01 and EN61010-1 CAT IV 600V and CAT III, 1000 V. They can withstand impulses in excess of 8.000 V and reduce risks related to surges and spikes.
Correctly measure pulse-width modulated motor drive signals
Until now, there hasn’t been a multimeter able to accurately measure adjustable speed drives. But the Fluke 87V is designed specifically to handle these complex signals.

Think of the potential productivity you’ll gain by taking the guesswork out of drive system troubleshooting. Measurements are correct each and every time.

o Unique function for accurate measurements of noisy pulse-width modulated AC voltage. Measures correctly at the ASD and at the motor terminals
o Accurately measure the frequency (motor speed). Frequency measurement not affected by the ASDs carrier frequency
o Measure AC current with an optional current clamp accessory
o Compare reading from the 87V with the display on the ASD
o Special shielding blocks high frequency, high-energy noise generated by large drive systems
