Fluke 117 Electrician's Multimeter Review

Fluke 117 Overview

The Fluke 117 is simply amazing multimeter for demanding settings like hospitals and schools and commercial buildings. The Fluke 117 multimeter includes integrated non-contact voltage detection to avoid secondary voltage detection tools for that purpose.

With its integrated non-contact voltage detection and the AutoV/LoZ function preventing false readings caused by ghost voltage, the Fluke 117 Electrician's Multimeter is the ideal multimeter for electricians. The Fluke 117 includes integrated non-contact voltage detection to help get the job done faster.

Compared to other Fluke multimeters it’s quite smaller and compact. The Fluke 117 weights about 400 grams. The Fluke 117 is ergonomically designed to give you a comfort hand holding with a compact size which provides an easy one handed operation off the device.

Fluke 117 Features
  • Built-in VoltAlert sensing circuit for non contact voltage detection
  • AutoVolT (Auto-V) automatically determines ac/dc voltage selection
  • LoZ: Low impedance input allows added measurement confidence against ghost voltage
  • Large white LED backlight for excellent viewing in all working conditions
  • True-rms for accurate measurements on non-linear loads
  • Quality resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance functions
  • Min/Max/Average to record signal fluctuations
  • CAT III 600 V safety rated
What Current Owners Have to Say About it

The Fluke 110 series is Fluke's cheapest "Fluke Branded" line. It's a Fluke so you know you're getting an instrument worth its salt. The 117 is the most feature packed and highest priced in the series. It's a smaller form factor than some of the other Fluke meters. It features all the traditional fields that you'll find on most modern DMMs. Volts AC (True RMS) & DC both to 600V. A full mV range. Resistance, continuity, diode check, capacitence, and frequency. It features Amps AC & DC to 10A however it lacks a mV and uV range since this is an electrician's meter, not an electronics meter. Two more modes it offers are volt alert and LoZ.

I bought the Fluke 117 Multimeter as a replacement for my old and very tired Fluke 77 Multimeter. This is a great meter for the price, I love all the new features Fluke has put in. If I have any gripe it's that the leads don't stow on the back like the model 77. If you need a quality Multimeter at a decent price grab one of these.
