Overview

The Fluke 28 II is a ruggedized, True-RMS digital multimeter designed for extreme industrial environments. It features an IP67 rating for water and dust protection, a wide operating temperature range, and is tested to withstand a 3-meter drop.

Why Choose This Part

This meter offers unmatched durability with its IP67 waterproof/dustproof rating and a reversible holster that protects the display during storage. The 800-hour battery life and backlit keypad make it highly practical for long shifts in poorly lit, remote, or demanding field locations.

Applications

Industrial Motor Drives
Utilizes a unique low-pass filter function for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on adjustable speed motor drives where switching noise is present.
Harsh Environment Troubleshooting
Ideal for use in mines, plants, or outdoor facilities where dust, water, and physical impacts are common risks to test equipment.
High-Energy Electrical Systems
Safety rated for CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V environments, capable of withstanding hazardous 8,000 volt spikes.
Precision Component Testing
Features a high-resolution 20,000 count display mode and 0.05 percent DC accuracy for detailed diagnostic work.
