FLUKE FLK-87VMAX-PVLEAD1 Solar Tool Kit with 87V Max Digital Multimeter and PV Test Leads

The 87V MAX is the ideal electrical troubleshooting solution for solar inverters, combiner boxes and battery storage systems. Engineered for professionals who work in the harshest environments, the Fluke 87V MAX True-RMS Digital Multimeter (DMM) is built to go where others can’t. Whether you're climbing ladders, working in extreme temperatures, or navigating wet and dirty conditions, this rugged multimeter is your reliable companion.

The 87V MAX sets a new benchmark for durability and performance. It’s IP67 rated— water resistant and dustproof—and designed to survive drops from up to 4 meters (13 feet) thanks to its industrial-strength casing and removable holster. It operates in temperatures ranging from -15C to +55C (5F to 131F, -40C for up to 20 minutes) and up to 95% humidity, making it ideal for demanding fieldwork.

Packed with all the trusted features of the original 87V, the MAX version adds enhanced durability, double the battery life and includes Pomona PVLEAD1 test leads. It measures up to 1000 V and 10 A (20 A for 30 seconds), with true-RMS accuracy for non-linear signals. Additional features include a built-in thermometer, low-pass filter for noisy environments, high-resolution 20,000 count display, and a bright dual-level backlight with illuminated keypad. You can also safely connect the Solar PV test leads to the meter to validate voltage from individual panels or a series of panels in a PV array.

With safety ratings of CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V, and protection against 8,000-volt spikes, the Fluke 87V MAX is the ultimate tool for solar and industrial electricians, HVAC technicians, and field engineers who demand precision and resilience.
