87V Digital Multimeter Overview

The 87V Digital Multimeter (DMM) lets you identify complex electrical problems fast, so you can work more efficiently and safely. Designed for troubleshooting motor drives, plant automation, power distribution, and electromechanical equipment, the Fluke 87V DMM provides precise readings even in noisy, high-energy environments. This multimeter features True-RMS AC voltage and current measurement for reliable results on non-linear signals. Its low-pass filter enables accurate frequency measurements on variable frequency drives (VFD), while the peak capture function detects intermittent events as fast as 250 µS. One advantage of the Fluke 87V is its ability to take measurements on the output side of the drive—either directly at the drive or at the motor terminals.

Built to Highest Safety Standards

All the inputs in the Fluke 87V are EN 61010-1 to CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V. The meter is designed to withstand spikes of more than 8000 V. You also benefit from an audible Input Alert warning if the test leads are placed in the incorrect input jacks for the measurement being made.

Convenient 87V Holster with Built-in Storage

The 87V has a removeable holster that also holds a test probe during testing for easier viewing. To make your life even easier, the 87V fits into an optional magnetic hanger (TPAK) for easy set-up and viewing while freeing your hands for other tasks.
