The Fluke 8050A is a 4-1/2 digit LCD digital multimeter engineered for precision measurement across DC/AC voltage, current, resistance, conductance, and specialized functions. Dual-slope integration analog-to-digital conversion delivers noise-free measurements with 0.03% basic DC accuracy and 1-year calibration stability. Built-in overload and transient protection (up to 6 kV, 10 microseconds) ensure reliable operation in demanding field and laboratory environments.
