Description

Fluke 113 Utility Digital Multimeter with VCHEK™ Function

The Fluke 113 Utility Digital Multimeter with VCHEK™ Function is a compact, professional-grade electrical testing instrument specifically designed for utility technicians, electricians, maintenance engineers, HVAC professionals, facility managers, and field service personnel. Engineered to simplify everyday electrical troubleshooting, the Fluke 113 combines advanced True RMS measurement technology with the innovative VCHEK™ function, allowing users to perform voltage and continuity testing quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Electrical professionals often need to identify live circuits, verify continuity, and troubleshoot electrical systems without spending valuable time switching between measurement modes. The Fluke 113 addresses this challenge with its exclusive VCHEK™ LoZ (Low Impedance) measurement function, which automatically combines voltage and continuity detection into a single easy-to-use mode. This intelligent feature speeds up diagnostics, reduces user intervention, and minimizes the risk of incorrect measurements.

Designed for everyday professional use, the Fluke 113 delivers the legendary quality, reliability, and accuracy that have made Fluke one of the world’s most trusted names in electrical test equipment. Whether working in commercial buildings, industrial plants, utility installations, educational institutions, or maintenance workshops, technicians can rely on the Fluke 113 to provide consistent and dependable measurement performance.

One of the key advantages of the Fluke 113 is its True RMS measurement capability. Unlike average-responding multimeters, True RMS technology accurately measures both sinusoidal and non-linear waveforms commonly found in today’s electrical systems. Modern equipment such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), electronic ballasts, switch-mode power supplies, HVAC systems, LED lighting, and industrial automation controls often generate distorted waveforms. The Fluke 113 ensures precise measurements under these challenging conditions.

The innovative VCHEK™ function is particularly valuable for troubleshooting electrical installations. Instead of manually selecting between voltage and continuity modes, technicians can simply connect the test leads and allow the meter to determine the appropriate measurement automatically. This improves workflow efficiency while reducing the possibility of operator error.

The Low Impedance (LoZ) input mode further enhances measurement reliability by eliminating ghost voltages. Ghost voltages are unwanted readings caused by capacitive coupling in de-energized circuits and can lead to confusion during troubleshooting. The LoZ function removes these false readings, enabling technicians to determine whether voltage is actually present before performing maintenance or repairs.

The Fluke 113 features a large, high-contrast LCD display with a bright backlight that provides excellent visibility in both brightly lit electrical rooms and dimly illuminated service areas. Clear digital readings allow technicians to quickly interpret measurement results, increasing productivity during maintenance and inspection work.

Safety is a fundamental aspect of every Fluke instrument. The Fluke 113 is designed with a CAT III 600V safety rating, making it suitable for measurements performed on commercial and industrial electrical installations, branch circuits, distribution panels, permanently installed equipment, and electrical control systems. This professional safety classification provides confidence when working around energized electrical equipment.

The multimeter supports a practical selection of measurement functions for everyday troubleshooting, including AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity, diode testing, capacitance, and frequency measurement. These capabilities make the Fluke 113 suitable for a wide variety of maintenance and diagnostic applications.

Resistance measurement enables technicians to evaluate electrical wiring, switches, relays, motors, sensors, heating elements, and electronic components. Accurate resistance testing helps identify damaged components and poor electrical connections before failures occur.

The audible continuity function allows users to rapidly verify circuit continuity without constantly observing the display. This feature significantly simplifies cable tracing, wiring verification, switch testing, and electrical installation inspections.

Diode testing provides fast evaluation of semiconductor components commonly found in industrial controls, power electronics, HVAC systems, and electronic circuits. This function supports maintenance professionals working on both electrical and electronic equipment.

Capacitance measurement allows technicians to test motor capacitors, HVAC capacitors, power supply components, and electronic assemblies, providing additional flexibility during maintenance activities.

Frequency measurement supports diagnostics on generators, inverters, motor drives, power supplies, automation systems, and utility equipment where signal frequency verification is essential.

The ergonomic design of the Fluke 113 ensures comfortable handling throughout the workday. Its lightweight construction allows technicians to easily carry the instrument between job sites, while the rugged protective housing withstands the demands of industrial environments.

Auto-ranging capability automatically selects the appropriate measurement range, allowing technicians to begin testing immediately without manually adjusting settings. This improves efficiency and minimizes setup time during troubleshooting.

The Data Hold function freezes displayed measurements, allowing technicians to safely record readings when working in difficult-to-access locations or preparing maintenance documentation.
