The digital multimeter (DMM) is the most-used tool in electrical work, but they are far from equal. For industrial and plant environments, these are the features that matter.
True-RMS meters measure distorted (non-sinusoidal) waveforms accurately — essential around motor drives, electronic ballasts and modern loads. Averaging meters give misleading readings on these.
Choose a meter rated for the environment: CAT III 1000 V or CAT IV 600 V for distribution and industrial work. This is a safety-critical spec, not a marketing number.
"Counts" define resolution — 6,000-count for general work, 20,000-count for precision. Basic DC accuracy of ~0.05% suits most plant tasks.
The Fluke 87V is the industry-standard industrial true-RMS DMM — rugged, accurate and drive-ready. The 88V adds automotive functions. Explore the full Fluke range or the electronic test instruments category.
