Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter

The Fluke 87V is perhaps the most widely used multimeter in industrial and process environments, with all the features you need. It measures AC/DC voltage up to 1000V, AC/DC current up to 10A and has a true-RMS feature for accurate readings of non-linear signals. Equipped with a low-pass filter, it ensures accurate measurements on variable frequency drives (VFDs). The device can capture signal intermittents as fast as 250 µS.

The Fluke 87V uses an external probe and supports temperature measurements from -200°C to 1090°C. Rated for CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V, it ensures safety in high-energy environments​.

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, no multimeter has accurately measured 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 every time.

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