Fits everyday True-RMS troubleshooting where you need a Fluke 179 covering AC/DC to 1000 V with 0.09% basic DC accuracy, temperature, and CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V safety.
Key advantages
- Ranges — AC/DC V to 1000 V; A to 10 A; Ω to 50 MΩ; capacitance to 10,000 µF; frequency to 100 kHz
- Accuracy — Basic DC 0.09%; True-RMS AC
- Temperature — To +400 °C on 179
- Display — 6000-count with bar graph; backlight; MIN/MAX/AVG
- Safety — CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V; ~200 h 9 V alkaline
Typical applications
- Industrial electrical troubleshooting.
- True-RMS on non-sinusoidal loads.
- Field temperature plus DMM checks.
Selection guide
- 179 vs 177/175 — Temp and accuracy tier
- CAT rating — Panel vs supply side
- Capacitance/Hz — Needed functions
- Leads/temp probe — Accessories
Common mistakes
- Using on circuits above CAT rating.
- Ignoring True-RMS need on VFDs.
- Leaving temp probe input open errors.
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Temp probe/leads; quantity; ship-to.
