Title: Fluke 8060A 300v vs. 1000v multimeters?
Post by: Axtman on September 12, 2019, 10:13:34 pm

How do I tell if my Fluke 8060A multimeter is the 300 volt or 1000 volt version?

I think they're both the same, just different labels after people pointed out they weren't safe for 1000V on all possible ranges.

(...was it 1000V or 750? My memory says 750V)

I believe the 300V meters would be the newest of the 8060A's and would have a AC RMS daughter board instead of the single chip RMS converter.
If you have one of the older models, I would definitely replace all the electrolytics.  I had three older models and in all three, the caps were leaking.  The one "newer" model did not have leaking caps.
