Fluke Multimeter, True RMS Capability, 200h Battery Life - FLUKE 179


This multimeter is a handheld True RMS instrument designed for precision measurement across electrical maintenance and diagnostic tasks. It provides broad-function capability including voltage, current, resistance, frequency, capacitance and temperature measurement, and is intended for use by professionals in automation, electronics, electrical and mechanical environments where accurate, real-time readings are required.

Features & Benefits


• True RMS measurement delivers accurate waveform readings for real-world signals
• DC voltage accuracy of ±0.09% adds high-accuracy performance for sensitive tests
• Resistance measurements down to 50mΩ enable low-resistance verification and contact checks
• Frequency capability to 1kHz supports motor and signal-tracing diagnostics
• Temperature measurement included for thermal checks without a separate meter
• Long battery life of 200 h reduces downtime between battery changes

Applications


• Suitable for commissioning AC/DC motors and drive systems
• Ideal for troubleshooting control panels and PLC power rails
• Used with power supplies to verify precise DC voltages
• Can be used for continuity and low-resistance checks on busbars and terminals
• Used for component-level frequency and capacitance validation in electronics

What range of current can I measure with this tool?


It measures AC and DC currents up to 10 A with stated accuracies for each mode.

How does it handle capacitance and frequency diagnostics?


The instrument measures capacitance up to 10,000 μF and detects frequencies up to 1 kHz suited to common electronic and control applications.

What accuracy should I expect for AC readings?


AC current accuracy is ±1.5% of reading Plus 3 digits and AC voltage uses True RMS processing for real-signal accuracy.

Which power source keeps the instrument running and for how long?


It runs on alkaline batteries and provides approximately 200 h of operational life under typical use.

How Compact and portable is the unit for field work?


The handheld device weighs 420 g and is sized for convenient carrying and single-operator tasks.
