The Fluke 179 says it is a True RMS meter. What does that mean? Do I need that?
Answers (1) - Asked by Anonymous
I have this question too (7)
RMS stands for Root Mean Square. While an ideal AC signal is a true sine wave, many situations will present deformed, imperfect waveforms. When measuring these with a meter which is not True RMS, the user can often be provided with inaccurate readings. However, the Fluke 179 is a True RMS device. Through a series of complex mathematical algorithms, it is able to display accurate readings, making the 179 much more dependable than many other products on the market.

Is there a way I can hang the 179, so I have both hands free to hold the test leads?
I have this question too (14)
Yes. The Fluke TPAK is a magnetic device which can be attached to any ferrous metal, or turned into a loop so you can hang it on a nail, hook, or any other object. The TPAK can be seen by clicking here.
