Hello everyone. I could not find info on this component so far.
I've searched quite a lot here but have not read everything by any means - is that even possible?
I usually use the Fluke 87V for measuring DC up to 16 volts and currents @ DC 30-160mA.
I did manage to cross some wires and got a short circuit for a few moments.
The fuse popped, so I went about changing it. Doing that, I spotted this "volcanic" component. Pictures attached.
My question: what component is it and what value, tolerance etc. does it have? I'd like to replace it.
My assumption is that its a shunt resistor, but since "assumptions make an ass out of you" , I'd rather
ask way more knowledgable people.
The Fluke is still working fine though after changing the fuse. That has me scratching my head a bit.
Thank you, Cheers!

Should be the current shunt for the lower Amps input.
About 3' of google would have told you it's a 1ohm, 1% resistor. The manufacturer's name is on it, you'll have to do a little research if you want to find the exact model.

Possibly a Vishay Dale WSR2 "Power Metal Strip® Resistor"

If that is R5 one Fluke 87V Multimeter Service Manual has these specifications:
1-OHM
+-1%
2W
75 PPM/C

Thank You! That's sorted now.
