Electrical Multimeter | Fluke 117 Electrician’s Multimeter by Fluke Corporation

Designed by electricians. Engineered by Fluke.

The compact Fluke 117 true RMS digital multimeter is optimized to help you keep commercial buildings, hospitals and schools running right.

The advanced features of the Fluke 117 help you get the job done, quickly and safely. Integrated non-contact voltage detection helps you identify energized circuits. The AutoV/LoZ function prevents false readings caused by ghost voltage. The Fluke 117 delivers true-rms ac voltage and current readings with 6000-count resolution. It provides Min/Max/Average readings and measures frequency and capacitance. The battery door is easy to access, so you and your Fluke 117 can stay on the job.

Fluke 117 multimeters are independently tested for safe use in CAT III 600V environments.

And check out other members of the Fluke 110 family: Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter, the Fluke 114 Electrical Multimeter, the Fluke 115 Multimeter and the Fluke 116 HVAC Multimeter with Temperature and Microamps.

Best Fluke I've ever had I love this meter, able to use non contact check then move right in to take measurements. Brilliant design, saves me time every day. January 14, 2013

The Best !!!! I have used DVM's for 27 years. The 117 has been the best. No other brand can match Flukes durability and dependability. My day starts by grabbing my Fluke 117, and ends when I shut off my meter. My usage of the 117 ranges from HVAC to Trouble shooting a circuit board. Thanks Fluke for knocking this one out of the park! August 29, 2012

great multimeter this one of the greatest meters on the market i would recommend it to anyone very easy to use June 19, 2012

great multimeter this has been one of the best meters i've ever owned June 19, 2012

Great versatility and performance I upgraded to this meter and feel it was a worthy expenditure. I use it daily. I am in the service industry and must trust my diagnostic equipment to perform accurately and reliably. I feel that this tool meets every requirement I need to provide my customers with accurate and precise information. June 10, 2012

This product is great. I have been using meters for a long time, Anyone that gets this meter will never have any problems. Allot of great features and easy to use. I would recommend this product to anyone. June 10, 2012

This fluke DMM is awsome and I will always buy Fluke products I have never had problems with my meter. I recommend a case for storage so the digital screen stays nice. Its nice to have the non contact voltage tester with the meter in hand June 9, 2012

Excellent Multimeter - An Investment in accuracy I've been using this multimeter for more than a year. Once you try it the advantages over other brands will be obvious. From the rugged construction, ease of use, excellent performance and accuracy you will not be disappointed. Excellent value. June 7, 2012

Very accurate and at a reasonable price I have a Fluke 117C and it is a must have for a DIYer that builds tube amps. The CAT III and CAT IV are perfect for this task. I am using mine for over an year and it gives perfect RMS readings. May 11, 2012
