Fluke 117 Electrician’s Multimeter

Features:

✔  Compact, true-rms digital multimeter for electricians

✔  Includes multimeter, 4mm silicone test leads, holster and manual

✔  Integrated non-contact voltage detection keeps you safe

✔  Prevent false readings from ghost voltage with selectable low-impedance mode

Electrical professionals are the target market for the Fluke 117 digital multimeter. The Fluke 117 offers Min/Max/Average readings together with extremely precise frequency and capacitance measurements. A quick method for figuring out whether live voltage is present in the region being examined is non-contact voltage detection. Ghost voltages are not detectable in the low impedance mode.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Fluke 115 and the Fluke 117?

While similar, the Fluke 115 and the Fluke 117 meters are designed for slightly different purposes. The Fluke 115 is a compact true-rms digital multimeter that’s great for field service. The Fluke 117 is a designed specifically for electricians. With a quick turn of the dial both units provide measurements for:

  • Resistance
  • Continuity
  • Frequency
  • Capacitance
  • Min/Max/Average

The Fluke 117 offers non-contact voltage detection and has a selectable low-impedance mode to prevent false readings from ghost voltage. The 117 also features automatic selection of AC or DC voltage, depending on what was detected.
