Is the Fluke 179 a good meter?

The Fluke 179 is the top model of the 170 Series of Fluke multimeters, noted for its high level of accuracy and extra functions. A True RMS DMM perfectly suited to troubleshooting in industry and around the home, this is one of the best general purpose meters available today and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

What is the difference between Fluke 177 and 179?

The 177 is drop tested for up to 1 meter and has a lifetime warranty available to back it up. Fluke 179 is the top of the line offering in the popular 170 series, able to measure frequency, capacitance, and resistance as well as tempurature in both F and C, all on a 6000 count display for better resolution.

Is it worth buying a Fluke multimeter?

A brand-name multimeter is absolutely worth it. Fluke multimeters are some of the most reliable out there. They respond faster than most cheap DMMs, and most of them have a analog bar-graph that tries to bridge the graph between analog and digital meters, and is better than a pure digital readout.

Where is Fluke 177 made?

If you’re looking for a work of art in the world of multimeters, the Fluke 177 would be on the shortlist, without a doubt. Made in the USA, it is very well designed and built, featuring a solid, ergonomic case enclosed by an integrated holster.

Does the Fluke 117 Measure amps?

Does the Fluke 117 read milliamps? The Fluke 117 Electrician’s Multimeter includes a 10 amp current range for making both AC or DC current measurements. The maximum resolution is 1 milliamp.

Why are Fluke meter so expensive?

The reason they’re so expensive is four reasons: 1. Mains and high voltage work. If you’re working with high voltages or massively different potentials, Fluke actually design the boards and isolation circuitry properly.

Do I need True RMS?

If every AC signal that you wish to measure the RMS value of is a pure sine wave, then you don’t need a true RMS meter. If, however, you want to measure the RMS value of a square wave, the output of a half-wave rectifier or something else more complex, then a true RMS meter will be advantageous.
