Fluke 179 True-RMS Digital Multimeter

Fits industrial electrical troubleshooting when you need a 170 Series True-RMS DMM with 0.09% basic DC accuracy, 1000 V / 10 A ranges, built-in thermometer to +400 °C, and CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V.

Key advantages

0.09% DC / 6000 counts — Basic DC accuracy 0.09%; 6000-count True-RMS AC.
1000 V / 10 A — Voltage 1000 V AC/DC; current 10 A AC/DC (fused).
Built-in thermometer — Temperature to +400 °C on the 179 (not every 170 Series SKU).
CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V — IEC category marks for industrial distribution work.

Typical applications

Plant and facility electrical maintenance with True-RMS AC.
Industrial voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and capacitance checks.
Built-in temperature checks to +400 °C on the 179.
Service kits centered on the Fluke 170 Series (175/177/179) meter.

Selection guide

Pick 179 when built-in thermometer is required — not every 170 Series SKU includes it.
Confirm CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V against the measurement location.
This SKU centers on the 179 meter (industrial multimeter service kit naming) — state if you need a full lead/case kit vs meter-only.
Quantity, ship-to, and any Fluke Connect / logging need (not listed — contrast FC family).

Common mistakes

Picking 175/177 when built-in thermometer is required — that is a 179 differentiator.
Mismatching CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V to the measurement location.
Assuming Fluke Connect logging is included — not listed on 179; use an FC family meter if needed.
Ordering a full lead/case kit without stating meter-only vs kit on the RFQ.

When to RFQ / what to tell us

Meter-only vs kit; built-in temperature need yes/no.
CAT location and any Fluke Connect / logging need (contrast FC family).
Quantity and ship-to.

FAQ

Q: How does 179 differ in the 170 Series? A: 179 adds a built-in thermometer to +400 °C on top of 0.09% DC accuracy, 6000-count True-RMS, and CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V.

Q: Current rating? A: 10 A AC/DC fused per OEM datasheet.

Q: What should I send for a quote? A: Meter-only vs kit, temperature need, CAT location, quantity, ship-to. Compatible with systems using Fluke 179 — we do not claim authorized-dealer status.
