[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8706087, member: 679555"] Yeah, makes sense. For whatever reason I was thinking with the price range of the meters they use in heavy industry that they would just always have true RMS as a starting point, but I looked into it a little more and the features they need that up the price tag are all safety related and features like true RMS are considered less useful, eventually being more about "is it on? is it off?" from a safe distance like lineman work. So more vague information using long hot sticks and super high value resistors. If they pass high voltage through a fluke it'll be with special leads to increase the resistance and then do a multiplier factor, but at that point it's not about accuracy between rms and non-rms. That's just my uneducated bias because I'm most familiar with DC electronics and accuracy is everything in that field. [/QUOTE]
