Description

The Fluke 87V Industrial True-RMS Multimeter
The Fluke 87V has improved measurement functions, troubleshooting features, resolution and accuracy to solve more problems on motor drives, in plant automation, power distribution, and electromechanical equipment. The 87V operates very similar to the classic 87, but with more problem-solving power, safety, convenience and impact protection.

With its newly incorporated selectable low pass filter, the Fluke 87V allows troubleshooters to take accurate voltage, current and frequency measurements on the output side of the drive at either the drive itself or the motor terminals.
Features for maximum productivity:

Unique function for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on adjustable speed motor drives and other electrically noisy equipment (87V)
Built-in thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings without having to carry a separate instrument (87V)
Large digit display with bright, two-level backlight makes the 80 Series V significantly easier to read than older models

Electrical Safety:
All inputs are protected to Category III, 1000 V and Category IV 600 V. They can withstand impulses in excess of 8,000 V and reduce risks related to surges and spikes.

Webinar: EVSE Safety Maintenance with Fluke

In recent years, more people are opting for greener solutions to minimize environmental damage, which has led to an increased demand for environmentally safe solutions such as electric vehicles. Naturally, this has led to an increase in the installation of EV charging stations, but also the risks for technicians. In 2020, there were 126 fatal and 2200 non-fatal electrical injuries. Many of these are caused when technicians are exposed to hazardous voltage and arc faults that could cause shock and fire hazards due to a lack of understanding of proper EVSE installation and maintenance. Considering that EVSEs have a high rate of failure, estimated at 30 to 50% (SAE), reliability is essential when building EV infrastructure and gaining user acceptance.
