Definition of Measurement Categories

Cat. I:

  For measurements on circuits not directly connected to the AC 

supply  wall  outlet  such  as  protected  secondaries,  signal  level, 

and limited energy circuits.

Cat. II: 

For  measurements  performed  on  circuits  directly  connected  to 

the electrical distribution system. Examples are measurements 

on household appliances or portable tools.

Cat. III:

  For  measurements  performed  in  the  building  installation  at 

the  distribution  level  such  as  on  hardwired  equipment  in  fixed 

installation and circuit breakers.

Cat. IV: 

For  measurements  performed  at  the  primary  electrical  supply 

(<1000V)  such  as  on  primary  overcurrent  protection  devices, 

ripple control units, or meters.
