Professional Digital Multimeter
The Fluke 87 is a handheld 4 1/2-digit digital multimeter designed for electrical troubleshooting and maintenance. It features an LED backlight for clear readings in low light and an LCD with larger digits for distance viewing. CAT III 1000V safety rating protects against transients up to 8 kV. This new unit includes a protective case and multiple attachments for immediate use.
Electricians and Technicians Needing Peak Capture
Ideal for professionals who require true peak transient capture with 250 µS MIN/MAX recording and improved DC accuracy. The rugged build suits demanding field environments where safety ratings are mandatory. Not suited for buyers who need bench-top form factors or built-in data logging without external accessories. Users requiring wireless connectivity should consider other models.
Case and Attachments Enable Immediate Deployment
The bundled hard case protects the meter during transport and storage in harsh conditions. Included test leads and probes allow voltage, current, and resistance measurements straight from the box. No additional accessories are required for standard electrical diagnostics. The kit reduces setup time for field service calls.

Questions about this item
What power source does the Fluke 87 multimeter require to operate?
The Fluke 87 handheld multimeter operates on standard internal batteries; no external power supply or mains connection is needed for the meter itself.
Can the Fluke 87 multimeter safely measure circuits in older electrical panels rated for lower overvoltage categories?
Yes, the CAT III 1000V rating on the Fluke 87 exceeds CAT II and lower categories, so it is suitable for measurements in older panels within its voltage limits.
How can I verify the Fluke 87 multimeter is capturing transient peaks correctly after setup?
Use the MIN/MAX mode to record readings; the 87 model captures true peak transients as fast as 250 µS, which will appear in the logged minimum and maximum values.
