Model: 179 | Order No: 179/EFSP
Ideal for troubleshooting and repairing electrical and electronic systems due to this True RMS multimeter's backlit digital display, analog bar graph, and built-in temperature measurements. Additionally, this tool works well in messy, loud, high energy, and high altitude areas.
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.
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.
