Fluke 17B MAX digital multimeter with 6000-count display, CAT III 600V safety, 1000V AC/DC, 10A, capacitance, frequency and Type-K temp. Order now.
Description
The Fluke 17B MAX Digital Multimeter is a rugged handheld meter built for electricians, panel technicians and maintenance engineers who need measurements they can trust on live equipment. It reads AC and DC voltage up to 1000 V, current to 10 A, resistance to 40 MΩ, capacitance to 2000 µF, frequency to 100 kHz and temperature with the supplied Type K thermocouple — all on a 6000-count backlit display that refreshes three times a second.
Safety is where this meter earns its place in a toolbag. It carries a CAT III 600 V rating for work on distribution panels, motor circuits and fixed installations, and it warns you with both an audible and a visual alarm if the test leads are plugged into the wrong jacks — the mistake that destroys cheaper meters and injures the people holding them.
Key Features
- ⚡ Full AC/DC coverage: 600.0 mV to 1000 V voltage and 400 µA to 10 A current, so one meter handles control wiring and load circuits alike.
- ✅ CAT III 600 V safety rating: rated for the distribution-level circuits found in commercial and industrial installations, not just wall sockets.
- 🔧 Wrong-connection alarm: an audible and visual warning fires if leads are in the wrong terminals for the selected function.
- 📏 6000-count backlit display: finer resolution than a typical 2000-count meter, updating 3 times per second, readable in a dark panel or under a machine.
- 🌡️ Type K temperature: −55.0 °C to 400.0 °C with the included thermocouple — check motor bearings, transformer bodies and heatsinks without a second instrument.
- 🔋 500-hour battery life: runs on 2 common AA cells, and any button press wakes it from sleep.
- 🔬 Fine-tip test leads: slim probe tips get into dense circuit boards and crowded terminal blocks.

Who It's For
Electricians and maintenance technicians working on panels, motors and industrial wiring get the CAT III 600 V protection and the misconnection alarm they need on live jobs. Electronics repair shops and lab users get the 6000-count resolution, capacitance and frequency functions for board-level work. Engineering students stepping up from a basic 2000-count meter get an instrument that will still be accurate and safe years into a working career.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is the 17B MAX different from the Fluke 17B+?
They are separate models. The 17B MAX is the newer MAX-series body with a 6000-count display, a CAT III 600 V rating and an IP40 sealed case. Check which one your workplace or tender specifies before ordering.
Q: Can it measure temperature out of the box?
Yes. A Type K thermocouple is included and the meter reads −55.0 °C to 400.0 °C.
Q: Is it safe for distribution board work?
Yes. It is rated CAT III 600 V, which covers fixed installations, distribution panels and motor circuits.
Q: What batteries does it use?
Two standard AA (IEC LR6) cells, giving a minimum of 500 hours of use.
Q: What is the highest current it can measure?
10.00 A on the A range, with µA and mA ranges for low-current control and electronics circuits.
