About the 279 FC
The Fluke 279 FC combines a full-featured true-rms multimeter with a thermal imager, so you can scan panels, fuses, connections and transformers for hot spots from a safe distance and then measure in the same tool. It works with the Fluke Connect app and accepts the iFlex flexible current probe for AC current.
