Marked measurement category

Not recorded

The record has no confirmed CAT category and voltage pair. A marking in a photograph cannot fill that gap.

The buying trap. Confirm the exact model’s manual before considering it for mains measurements.

  • Fluke 87V MAX Model: 87V MAX

    IP54 ruggedized version with removable holster and much longer runtime.

    Harsh outdoor industrial environments.

Purchase links appear where the exact offer is verified. Confirm the named model, quantity and accessories before ordering.

Watch out

  • An 88V is automotive (duty cycle, RPM), not the 87V's accuracy.
  • Listings with the case and i400 are Truerms bundles, not the 87V alone.

Why people pick it

  • 0.05% DC voltage accuracy and 19,999-count high-resolution mode, per the spec sheet
  • Low-pass filter for accurate measurements on variable-frequency drives, plus Peak Capture for 250 μs intermittents
  • CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V inputs rated for over 8000 V spikes, with an audible wrong-jack warning
  • Analog bar graph and Touch Hold make fast-changing or unstable signals usable; lifetime warranty

Know before you buy

  • 10 A current inputs (20 A only for 30 seconds) - current-heavy work needs a clamp accessory
  • No built-in wireless logging (the 87V is not a Fluke Connect instrument)
  • Bench-style size and weight for a handheld, and a premium price tier
