Description
Overview
The Fluke 317 True-RMS Clamp Meter is a compact professional clamp meter designed for technicians, maintenance teams, electrical contractors, commissioning engineers, and industrial users who need reliable AC/DC current and voltage measurements in tight electrical panels and cable compartments. Fluke lists the 317/319 series as handheld, battery-operated clamp meters for measuring AC and DC current, AC and DC voltage, resistance, and continuity; the Fluke 317 model is specified for current measurement ranges up to 600.0 A AC/DC.
Designed with a slim clamp profile, large backlit display, and practical field functions such as screen hold and continuity beeper, the Fluke 317 is suitable for everyday electrical testing where portability, safety rating, and measurement clarity matter. The 37 mm jaw opening helps users access conductors in confined spaces, while 0.01 A resolution on the 40 A range supports lower-current checks with better reading detail.
For procurement teams and industrial buyers, the Fluke 317 offers a balanced specification for standard electrical maintenance: 600 A AC/DC current, 600 V AC/DC voltage, resistance measurement up to 4000 Ω, True-RMS AC response, CAT III 600 V safety rating, IP40 protection, and operation from three AAA batteries.
Key Features
- 600 A AC/DC current measurement for routine electrical maintenance and load checks.
- 600 V AC/DC voltage measurement with 0.1 V resolution.
- 40.00 A low-current range with 0.01 A resolution, useful when checking smaller loads or branch circuits.
- True-RMS AC response for AC voltage and AC current measurement accuracy across the specified range.
- 400.0 Ω and 4000 Ω resistance ranges for basic troubleshooting.
- Continuity beeper at ≤30 Ω for quick circuit continuity checks.
- 6000-count digital display for clear measurement reading.
- Large backlit display for use in darker electrical rooms, cabinets, and maintenance areas.
- 37 mm clamp opening / jaw diameter for access around conductors.
- CAT III 600 V safety rating to support work on building distribution-level electrical systems within the rated limits.
- Auto-off and hold function to help preserve battery life and capture readings on screen.
- Supplied with test leads, soft carrying case, installed AAA batteries, and user manual.
Applications
The Fluke 317 True-RMS Clamp Meter is suitable for daily electrical measurement tasks across maintenance, facilities, industrial service, contractor work, and equipment troubleshooting. It can be used for non-invasive current checks on individual conductors, AC/DC voltage verification, resistance measurement, and continuity testing. Fluke describes the 317/319 series as compact clamp meters intended for current measurements in tight cable compartments, with AC/DC current capability and higher resolution for loads below 40 A.
Typical use cases include checking electrical loads in control panels, troubleshooting distribution circuits, verifying voltage presence within the meter’s rated limits, checking continuity during maintenance, and supporting preventive maintenance routines where a portable clamp meter is preferred over a larger bench or logging instrument. The CAT III 600 V rating makes the Fluke 317 appropriate for many building electrical distribution environments when used according to the manual and applicable safety procedures.
