Fluke Digital Multimeter, 1000V Safety Category Voltage, 10A Maximum DC Current Measurement - 1592842

This digital multimeter is a handheld instrument for measuring electrical and electronic parameters in field and workshop contexts. It provides true RMS measurement capability for accurate AC readings and supports a wide range of tests including voltage, current, resistance, frequency, capacitance and temperature while operating from an alkaline battery supply.

Features and Benefits:

• True RMS acquisition for accurate AC measurement
• DC voltage precision ±0.09% with 0.1mV resolution
• AC and DC current resolution down to 0.01mA for fine readings
• Measures up to 1000V for high-voltage circuits
• Resistance capability to 0.05GΩ for high-resistance testing
• Battery runtime around 200 h for extended field use

Applications

• Suitable for electricians working on 1 kV systems
• Ideal for servicing AC and DC motor controls
• Used for electronic troubleshooting and component verification
• Can be used for HVAC temperature and frequency checks
