117 Présentation
A digital multimeter (DMM) is a portable electronic test instrument that combines several measurement functions—DC voltage, AC voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, continuity, and diode test—in a single battery-powered unit. Modern handheld DMMs such as the Fluke 117 are positioned in the broader test and measurement hierarchy: DMM -> portable test instrument -> electrical tester -> general-purpose test equipment. The category traces its roots to analog moving-coil meters and has evolved through successive generations of True-RMS converters, autoranging firmware, and ruggedized enclosures to become the universal diagnostic tool for electricians, HVAC technicians, and field-service engineers.
The 117 measures up to 600 V AC/DC, 10 A AC/DC current via the 10 A fused input, capacitance to 1000 microfarads, frequency to 50 kHz, and resistance to 40 megohms. True-RMS acquisition provides accurate readings on non-linear loads such as variable-frequency drives, switching power supplies, and LED lighting. Auto and manual ranging, min/max/average recording, and a Hold function support trend capture during transient events. The 6000-count display gives 0.09% basic DC accuracy, sufficient for verifying control voltages and appliance calibration.
Integration of VoltAlert non-contact detection eliminates a separate voltage tester; the LED at the meter tip glows red when an AC field is sensed, allowing one-hand checking of de-energized circuits. LoZ mode places a low-impedance load across the test points to drain ghost voltages that can false-trigger standard high-impedance meters on long runs—critical for HVAC and building-automation diagnostics. The combination of CAT III 600 V rating and TL175 silicone-insulated test leads permits direct measurement at building distribution panels in compliance with IEC 61010-1 and NFPA 70E standards.
Typical applications include commercial building electrical troubleshooting, HVAC service diagnostics, lighting-retrofit verification, and residential service-panel testing. The 117 excels where ghost-voltage rejection and quick live-conductor detection reduce diagnostic time on commercial sites with mixed old/new wiring topologies. Field engineers pairing it with the Fluke 323 clamp meter can form the Fluke 117/323 electrician's combo kit, providing both contact and non-contact current measurement without a second tool purchase.
When selecting measurement tooling, confirm installed-environment category rating (CAT III/CAT IV) matches the upstream fault current available. Always use fused test leads and inspect the meter housing for cracks before energizing; a damaged CAT III-rated meter loses its overvoltage rating and should be removed from service. Battery replacement uses a 9 V alkaline cell accessible via the rear battery door.

Applications typiques
117 convient pour 7 applications: Commercial Building Electrical Troubleshooting, HVAC Service and Diagnostics, Lighting Retrofit and LED Verification, Residential Service Panel Testing, Industrial Control Panel Verification, Field Service and Repair Work, Battery and DC System Diagnostics.
Commercial Building Electrical Troubleshooting
The Fluke 117 is the canonical electrician's meter for diagnosing branch-circuit faults, lighting-retrofit verification, and panel diagnostics in commercial buildings. Its 600 V CAT III / 600 V CAT IV rating per IEC 61010-1 permits direct measurement at distribution panels and service entrances with adequate arc-flash margin. VoltAlert non-contact detection lets a technician confirm de-energization before opening enclosures, while LoZ mode suppresses ghost voltages that false-trigger ordinary high-impedance meters on long conduit runs. The 6000-count display and True-RMS acquisition deliver ±0.09% basic DC accuracy sufficient for verifying control voltages and reference signals. Compared to clamp-only meters, the 117's combination of contact voltage, resistance, capacitance, and frequency diagnostics makes it the single meter an electrician carries daily.

HVAC Service and Diagnostics
The Fluke 117 supports HVAC service work where voltage verification, temperature rise checks, and capacitor health testing dominate the workflow. While the 116 is more HVAC-focused with dedicated microamp inputs for flame-sensor current, the 117 covers the universal subset: 600 V True-RMS voltage for control-transformer secondary, 10 A current for compressor inrush verification, capacitance to 1000 µF for motor-run capacitor ESR check, and frequency to 50 kHz for VFD output verification. VoltAlert speeds live-line checks on rooftop unit whip conductors, and LoZ prevents ghost-voltage misdiagnosis on long thermostat runs. The rugged Yellow-rubber holster survives rooftop drop impacts, and the 9 V battery is field-replaceable without breaking the calibration seal.

Lighting Retrofit and LED Verification
LED and HID lighting retrofits introduce non-linear loads with high switching frequency content that average-responding meters cannot measure accurately. The Fluke 117's True-RMS converter and 0.09% basic DC accuracy provide trustworthy voltage and current readings on 0-10 V dimming circuits, DALI control pairs, and switch-mode LED drivers. Backlit display and built-in flashlight enable work in dark ceiling cavities where luminaires are being replaced. LoZ mode is particularly valuable when verifying whether phantom voltage on disconnected switch legs originates from capacitive coupling through long wire runs—common in retrofit scenarios where new LED drivers inject high-impedance sensing currents through existing conductors.
Recommandé
Residential Service Panel Testing
Electricians performing service-panel inspections and load audits use the Fluke 117 to measure bus voltage under load, branch-circuit current up to 10 A, and ground-fault leakage current via the LoZ mode. The CAT IV 600 V rating is essential at the service entrance where available fault current is highest. Min/Max/Average recording captures momentary sags and surges from intermittent loads such as microwaves and HVAC compressors—data invisible on a single handheld reading. The Hold function freezes a stable reading while the probe is repositioned, reducing the risk of dropping a probe across two phases during panel inspection.

Industrial Control Panel Verification
Control-panel commissioning requires verifying 24 VDC control signals, 120/230 VAC relay-coil voltages, and 4-20 mA analog loops. The Fluke 117 covers 0-600 VDC and 0-600 VAC ranges with 0.09% basic accuracy, plus millivolt DC for thermocouple and strain-gauge signal tracing without external shunts. True-RMS ensures accurate readings on SCR-controlled heater outputs and variable-frequency drives. The rugged housing survives panel-shop handling and the 600 V CAT III rating permits direct measurement on 480 V motor-control centers through properly rated fused leads. LoZ mode drains ghost voltages from long parallel sensor cables that can confuse PLC analog inputs.

Field Service and Repair Work
Independent field-service technicians carrying a single diagnostic tool appreciate the Fluke 117's combination of measurement breadth and ruggedness. The Yellow holster and 1-meter drop rating per IEC 61010-1 tolerate truck-bed handling and ladder work. VoltAlert speeds preliminary live-line verification before each measurement, and LoZ mode prevents false ghost-voltage readings that waste technician time chasing nonexistent faults. The 117's self-contained 9 V alkaline battery eliminates the need for a charger between calls, and the user-replaceable fuse minimizes downtime when a measurement mistake blows the 10 A input fuse. The 3-year manufacturer warranty and global Fluke service network support traveling technicians who need warranty work honored regionally.

Battery and DC System Diagnostics
The Fluke 117 measures DC voltage to 600 V for diagnosing 12/24/48 V battery banks, solar PV combiner boxes, and telecom DC plant outputs. With ±0.09% basic DC accuracy, the 117 verifies float-charge voltages within the ±1% tolerance required by VRLA battery manufacturers. The 117 can also measure DC current up to 10 A via the fused input, useful for verifying charge-controller output and load current on small PV systems. True-RMS is not required for pure DC measurements, but the True-RMS converter does not degrade DC accuracy. Note that for high-current battery testing above 10 A, a dedicated DC clamp such as the Fluke 365 is preferable; the 117's 10 A fuse would otherwise interrupt measurement.

Notes de conception
Before any panel work, visually verify the meter's CAT rating matches the upstream fault-current category. A meter rated CAT II cannot be safely used on a CAT III distribution panel even though the voltage range may be identical—arc-flash energy during a fault will exceed the meter rating. The Fluke 117 carries CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 600 V per IEC 61010-1, but only when used with the supplied TL175 silicone-insulated leads. Substituting generic leads voids the overvoltage rating.
LoZ mode is the correct choice when measurements show phantom or 'ghost' voltages on disconnected conductors—typically 30-110 V induced by capacitive coupling through long parallel runs. Fluke recommends pressing the LoZ button before touching the probe to the conductor; the meter draws ~2.4 kohm across the test points to drain the capacitive charge and reveal the true de-energized state. Standard high-impedance meters (10 Mohm) hold the charge and read the ghost voltage indefinitely, leading to false-positive verification of live circuits.
Replacing the 10 A input fuse with anything other than the specified Fluke fuse rating (typically a 11 A, 1000 V high-breaking-capacity fuse) destroys the meter's CAT III arc-flash protection. The OEM fuse is rated to interrupt the full 20 kA fault current available at a 480 V motor-control center; a generic fuse will rupture violently during a fault and bypass protection. Always carry one spare OEM-rated fuse and a 0.4 A mA-input fuse to minimize field downtime.
