The Fluke 117C is a compact portable True-RMS multimeter designed for electricians working in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools and property maintenance sites. It integrates two electrician-exclusive core functions: VoltAlert non-contact voltage sensing and LoZ low-impedance mode to eliminate ghost false readings. Slim lightweight ergonomic body fits single-handed operation, optimized for dim equipment rooms, dense wiring and cramped distribution boxes.

With 6,000-count resolution True-RMS measurement, it accurately processes distorted non-sinusoidal waveforms from variable-frequency drives and switching power supplies. A large white backlit LCD paired with 33-segment fast-update analog bar graph enables instant visual identification of voltage and current fluctuations. Built-in Min/Max/Avg long-term trend logging automatically captures short-term circuit drift and intermittent hidden faults.
