Multimeter review / buyers guide: Fluke 87V / Fluke 87-5 Review

Buy the Fluke 87V here: http://astore.amazon.com/m0711-20/detail/B0002YFD1K This is a review of the Fluke 87V. This is Fluke’s true RMS digital multimeter with 6000 / 20000 count. This is an industrial multimeter for electrical / electronics. I will be using this multimeter in a future series on “How to use a multimeter for advanced measurements” (multimeter tutorial) Thanks to Comtest for the loan of the multimeter www.comtest.wowi4mail.co.za A list of my multimeters can be purchased here: http://astore.amazon.com/m0711-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=5 Specs: * Unique function for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on adjustable speed motor drives and other electrically noisy equipment (87V) * Built-in thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings without having to carry a separate instrument (87V) * Optional magnetic hanger for easy set-up and viewing while freeing your hands for other tasks * Large digit display with bright, two-level backlight makes the 80- Series V significantly easier to read than older models
