Product overview: Fluke 283 FC CAT III 1500V Digital Multimeter
The CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 1000 V True-RMS Fluke 283 FC Digital Multimeter sets the new standard for technicians in DC environments up to 1500 V. Whether you’re working with a utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) array, wind power, an electric railway, or a data center, the Fluke 283 FC has been engineered to enhance safety and increase productivity while giving you accurate, reliable, and repeatable results.
The 283 FC includes TL175-HV CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 1000 V safety-rated silicone Insert TwistGuard™️ test leads so you can work confidently in higher voltage environments without compromising safety, giving you more flexibility when testing voltage, millivoltage, resistance, continuity, or capacitance . A bright backlit LCD screen and illuminated keypad make it easier to work in both direct and low light conditions. The included magnetic hanging kit frees up your hands and the custom hard carrying case protects your investment while you transport it.
Additional features:
- Highly accurate voltage measurements for precise frontline troubleshooting
