Fluke Multimeter, True RMS Capability, 1kHz Maximum Frequency - FLUKE 179E

This handheld multimeter is a precision troubleshooting instrument for electrical and electronic systems, designed for field and workshop use by professionals in automation, electronics, electrical and mechanical roles. It provides accurate true-RMS readings for complex AC signals, offers a built-in thermometer for temperature checks, and presents measurements on a 6000-count display with an analogue bargraph to track varying signals.

Features & Benefits

• True-RMS AC readings provide accurate measurements on distorted waveforms
• DC voltage accuracy of 0.09%+2 improves measurement precision
• AC current accuracy of ±1.5% ensures dependable current diagnostics
• Low-resistance range down to 50 mΩ enables sensitive resistance checks
• Long battery life of ∼200 h supports extended field shifts
• Frequency and capacitance ranges support component and signal testing

Applications

• Suitable for commissioning frequency-controlled drives and inverters
• Ideal for diagnosing PCB power-supply faults in electronics workshops
• Used for on-site electrical maintenance and installation verification
• Can be used for thermal checks on motors and bearing assemblies
• Suitable for measuring capacitors and filter networks during repair

What input protection categories apply for on-site electrical work?

The instrument meets EN 61010-1 overvoltage categories CAT III up to 1000V and CAT IV up to 600V for use on distribution and fixed-installation circuits.

How does the display aid interpretation of transient signals?

An integrated analogue bargraph shows signal trends alongside the 6000-count numeric readout, making it easier to observe changing voltages or currents.

What current ranges and input behaviour are provided for inrush testing?

It measures up to 10 A and up to 400 mA on the lower input with typical input burden values of 37 mV/A on the high range and 2 mV/mA on the lower range.
