True-RMS Measurement

True-RMS measurement allows the Fluke 175 to provide accurate AC measurements on electrical systems where waveforms may not be purely sinusoidal.

This makes the meter suitable for troubleshooting modern electrical and electronic equipment, including systems with variable loads and other non-linear electrical characteristics.

Troubleshooting Functions

The Display Hold and Auto Hold functions help technicians capture important readings during testing, while Min/Max-Average recording can be used to identify changing electrical conditions and measurement variations.

Automatic and manual ranging provide flexibility for both routine measurements and more controlled troubleshooting procedures.

Safety

The Fluke 175 is designed for professional electrical environments and is rated:

• 
  CAT III 1000 V
  
• 
  CAT IV 600 V
  
• 
  UL listed
  
• 
  CSA listed
  
• 
  TÜV listed
  

The meter also supports closed-case calibration through the front panel, helping simplify periodic maintenance and calibration procedures.

Applications

The Fluke 175 is suitable for:

• 
  Industrial electrical troubleshooting
  
• 
  Electrical system maintenance
  
• 
  Control panel testing
  
• 
  Electrical and electronic equipment repair
  
• 
  Motor and machinery troubleshooting
  
• 
  Commercial electrical maintenance

Fluke 175 vs Fluke 177 and 179

The Fluke 175 is positioned as the baseline model in the Fluke 170 Series. The Fluke 177 provides higher measurement accuracy, while the Fluke 179 adds contact temperature measurement.

This makes the Fluke 175 a good choice when reliable True-RMS electrical measurement is required without the additional temperature measurement function of the 179.
