Quick answers

What is the 87V MAX's safety (CAT) rating?

Fluke rates it CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1,000 V. CAT IV covers the service entrance and utility side, CAT III distribution-level circuits such as panels and feeders; the lower of the meter's and the test leads' ratings is the one that applies. See our CAT ratings guide.

Does the 87V MAX measure DC current?

Yes: Fluke lists a DC current range up to 10 A.

Is the 87V MAX true-RMS?

Yes, Fluke lists it as true-RMS, so readings on non-sinusoidal loads (drives, dimmers, electronic ballasts) are not averaged.

What batteries does the 87V MAX use?

Three AA batteries (dry cells; no tool battery platform).

Does the 87V MAX come with test leads?

Yes: TL175 TwistGuard test leads.
