The Keithley 660A is a differential voltmeter that includes a Kelvin-Varley divider and a reference source up to 500 V.

The Keithley 660A can be used as potentiometer or as VTVM. As potentiometer it can measure from 100 microvolts full scale to 500 volts, with an error lower than 0.02% in the ranges from 100 mV up. As VTVM it reads from 1 mV to 500 V, with a 3% accuracy, and resistances up to 100.000 megahoms. Input resistance depends upon the selected range, being 50 MOhms from 0.1 V full scale, and rises to infinity at the null. The meter includes the 500 VDC precision voltage reference, the Kelvin-Varley divider and the chopper-stabilized null detector.
