The Fluke 87V offers accuracy and diagnostics for maximum industrial productivity in the tool box or on the bench.

The Fluke 87V multimeter has improved measurement functions, troubleshooting features, resolution and accuracy to solve more problems on motor drives, in plant automation, power distribution, and electromechanical equipment.

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
  • Built-in thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings without having to carry a separate instrument
  • Large digit display with bright, two-level backlight

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.


For a greater value see the Fluke 87V/E2 - Industrial Electrician's Combo Kit or the Fluke 87V/AEK - Advanced Electronic Kit or the Fluke 87V/IMSK - 87V with i400 Clamp Meter Combo Kit
Also available in an average responding multimeter, Fluke 83V

Correctly measure pulse-width modulated motor drive signals

Until now, there hasn't been a multimeter able to accurately measure adjustable speed drives. But the Fluke 87V is designed specifically to handle these complex signals. Think of the potential productivity you'll gain by taking the guesswork out of drive system troubleshooting. Measurements are correct each and every time.

  • Unique function for accurate measurements of noisy pulse-width modulated AC voltage.
  • Measures correctly at the ASD and at the motor terminals
  • Accurately measure the frequency (motor speed). Frequency measurement not affected by the ASDs carrier frequency
  • Measure AC current with an optional current clamp accessory
  • Compare reading from the 87V with the display on the ASD
  • Special shielding blocks high frequency, high-energy noise generated by large drive systems

Complex PWM drive signals are not a problem for the Fluke 87V
Pulse-width modulated detail of 50 Hz motor drive output voltage. 1000 V, 50 micro-second pulses can cause erratic behavior in some test equipment.
