True RMS multimeter for electrical troubleshooting

The Fluke 179 is a digital multimeter designed for troubleshooting and repairing electrical and electronic systems. It provides True RMS measurements with a backlit display and an analog bar graph for clear readings in varied lighting. A built-in thermometer adds temperature measurement without a separate instrument. The ergonomic case includes an integrated protective holster for durability in demanding environments.

Suited for technicians needing safety-rated

This meter suits field technicians and electricians who work in messy, loud, high-energy or high-altitude locations and require CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V safety ratings. Closed-case calibration through the front panel simplifies maintenance without opening the housing. Buyers who need wireless data logging, graphical waveform capture or higher count resolution should consider other instrument classes.

Handles up to 1000 V AC

The multimeter measures AC and DC voltage up to 1000 V with basic DC voltage accuracy of ±0.09 % + 2 digits and basic AC voltage accuracy of ±1.0 % + 3 digits. DC current accuracy is rated at ±1.0 % + 3 digits. The 6000-count display provides sufficient resolution for most industrial and field service tasks, while the analog bar graph helps track fast-changing signals.

Questions about this item

Does the Fluke 179 multimeter need separate test leads to measure voltage and current?

The Fluke 179 ships with standard test leads so you can begin AC and DC voltage measurements up to 1000 V and current readings immediately.

Can I keep using my existing CAT III 600 V rated leads with the Fluke 179?

Yes, leads rated for CAT III 600 V are compatible, though the meter itself is rated CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V for higher energy environments.

How do I verify the Fluke 179 is reading correctly after turning it on?

Select a known voltage source, confirm the display shows the expected value within the basic DC accuracy of +/- 0.09 % + 2 digits, and check the backlit display and analog bar graph respond smoothly.
