Key features

  • Identify complex signal problems fast
  • Supports accurate measurements on VFDs using a low-pass filter
  • Captures intermittents as fast as 250 µS with Peak Capture

Product overview: Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter

The Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter provides the resolution and accuracy to efficiently troubleshoot motor drives, plant automation, power distribution, and electromechanical equipment - even in loud, high-energy, and high-altitude locations. The 87V is designed so you can work more efficiently.

  • Easy-access door for fast battery changes without breaking the calibration seal
  • Analog bar graph for fast changing or unstable signals
  • Large digit display with bright, two-level backlight for easier reading in low light
  • Touch Hold keeps readings on display even after removing probes

The 87V lets you identify complex electrical problems fast. It supports accurate measurements on VFDs using a low-pass filter. The meter also captures intermittents as fast as 250 µS using Peak Capture. High-frequency, high-energy noise generated by large drive systems is blocked from your measurements with specially designed shielding.

Built to highest safety standards

All the inputs in the 87V are updated to the third edition of the EN 61010-1 to CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V. The meter is designed to withstand spikes of more than 8000 V. You also benefit from an audible Input Alert warning if the test leads are placed in the incorrect input jacks for the measurement being made.

Removable holster with built in test lead and probe storage for convenience

The 87V has a removeable holster that also holds a test probe during testing for easier viewing. Relative mode lets you remove test lead resistance, improving accuracy of low-resistance measurements. To make your life even easier, the 87V fits into an optional magnetic hanger for easy set-up and viewing while freeing your hands for other tasks.

Additional measurement features

The Fluke 87V is designed and built in the U.S. and comes with a lifetime warranty.

I sometimes have to work outside in the winter when temps occasionally drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Which multimeters will work in colder temps? Will They be slow?

Asked by: DK repair
The Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter can operate from 5°F to 131°F, and if you need to operate in colder you can operate for 20 minutes down to -40°F. There should be no impact to performance in colder temperatures.

Are you able to use the Fluke 87-v to check voltage drop?

Asked by: NormHindy
Yes, depending on what kind of voltage you will be doing (how and on what voltage). If you want a graph of a voltage drop that would depend on the speed of the drop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from fluke 87V fluke is hands down the best of all the meters I have ever used
Date published: 2023-11-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Meter! Couple gripes.. I'm using this meter for electronics repair and love it! It's very accurate and has a nice loud continuity tone. And the tone isn't annoying either. However, there are a couple small grips I have. Including a safety manual instead of a user manual is not smart at all. Why not include the user manual and leave it up to the user to download the safety manual if they want? I'm honestly baffled by that choice... How do I get a printed manual? The 2nd gripe I have are the test leads. The price you pay I would have expected much better! They look and feel like a cheap pair of Chinese test leads. On top of that, why are the lead wires hard plastic instead of soft silicone? What year is this again? And when you use these test leads in the cold they become more rigid and hard to work with. Do yourself a favor and keep the leads in th box and buy a nice pair of probe master leads. Other than those 2 downfalls, I love the meter and is exactly what I wanted.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great meter I've had same 87 for over 10 years. Been dropped off ladders, leads getting caught on door handles where leads get ripped out of their sockets and various other types of abuse. Now I lost it. It's like losing my right hand. I'm a fire alarm tech. Best meter there is. Conductance feature is the best for finding those pesky intermittent grounds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tip top I wanted the dmm with unparalleled accuracy and reliability of the Fluke 87. Its the last meter I'll buy!
Date published: 2021-01-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 87V because the 289 isn't a good choice. Although our use case is Electronic R&D I choose the 87 V, an industrial meter, over the 289. Yes, I could use the better precision of the 289 but the 87 V has a better reputation, longer battery life and 289's logging features don't work with Linux and are too cumbersome anyway.
