Fluke 87-5 (87V) True RMS Digital MultimeterNew features for maximum productivity! Unique function for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on adjustable speed motor drives and other electrically noisy equipment. Built-in thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings without having to carry a separate instrument. Optional magnetic hanger for easy set-up and viewing while freeing your hands for other tasks. Large digit display with bright, two-level backlight makes the 80- Series V significantly easier to read than older models. Features: True-rms ac voltage and current for accurate measurements on non linear signals. Selectable filter for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on motor drives. 0.05 % dc accuracy. 6000 counts, 3-3/4 digits. 4-1/2 digit mode for precise measurements (20,000 counts). Measure up to 1000 V ac and dc. Measure up to 10 A, 20 A for up to 30 seconds. Built in thermometer lets you carry one less tool (TC probe included). Frequency to 200 kHz and % duty cycle. Resistance, continuity and diode test. 10,000 µF capacitance range for components and motor caps. Min/Max-Average recording with Min/Max Alert to capture variations automatically. Peak capture to record transients as fast as 250 µs. Relative mode to remove test lead interference from low ohms measurements. Auto and manual ranging for maximum flexibility. Touch Hold to capture stable readings avoiding noisy signals. Large display digits and two-level bright white backlight for increased visibility. Analog bargraph for fast changing or unstable signals. Input Alert provides audible warning against wrong use of input jacks. Improved selectable sleep mode for long battery life. Access door for fast battery changes without breaking the calibration seal. "Classic" design with new removable holster with built in test lead and probe storage. Lifetime warranty.

Top notch!

What's in a name? A lot, especially when you are working with expensive equipment that needs to be just right, etc. The Fluke name is associated with being the best in making meters, and I would not be using any other brand name for my metering needs!

Best Multimeter I've owned

2008-01-13
I've used a couple of cheap multimeters in the past. Once I ordered my new tube amp, the manufacturer recommended not to use a cheap multimeter, and get a Fluke 87-5 as this would give accurate readings.

Well, after spending that much on the tube amp, I had to get the Fluke. Upon receiving it, build quality was excellent. Manual was also pretty good. Although, the manual presupposes that you know how to work a multimeter unit already. I had to slowly figure it out as I am no engineer.

Bottom line, this is a great product! I only wish it were readily available in the Philippines. The price of this here in Manila is double srp in the US.

Excellent Quality

I use to have a Fluke 87-III which had an outstanding quality. So, just based on this previous model I can be sure that this will be oK.

don't waste your money on Cheap meters!

I have been in the RV repair industry for a long time and one thing is for sure, I cannot do my job without a top quality meter. I have in the past bought Snap-On, Mac, Matco,ect, but have never been as pleased with a meter as I have with this one. Beyond the normal functions of a meter, I love this one for its temp probe, no more are the days of carrying a therometer to take readings inside fride, a/c/ unit, all I do is plug it into the meter put the probe inside and shut the door within 30 seconds I have a very accurate reading. But probably the most important thing about this merter is the "true RMS" readings I get, this is very important when working with power converters and inverters..This meter is very well protected also with fuses (fuses are pricey though) have not blown one yet but I would recommend purchasing a set to keep on hand.

Its a good instrument to be used.

This instrument is one that i have used and really is the tool that all the Engineers ought to have,and use.
