The Fluke 87-5 CAL Industrial True-RMS Multimeter is a field instrument engineered for precise electrical measurements across demanding industrial applications. It delivers True-RMS AC voltage and current readings on non-linear signals, with a dual-level backlit display optimized for variable lighting and an integrated thermometer for temperature measurement. Factory calibrated to NIST standards with traceable certification, the 87-5 CAL rapidly isolates faults in motor drives, plant automation, power distribution systems, and electromechanical equipment.
