OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I is equipment for

connection to circuits in which measures are taken to limit the transient

overvoltages to an appropriate low level.

Note – Examples include protected electronic circuits.

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming

equipment to be supplied from the fixed installation.

Note – Examples include household, office, and laboratory appliances.

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed

installations.

Note – Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some

equipment for industrial use with permanent connection to the fixed

installation.

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV is for use at the origin

of the installation.

Note – Examples include electricity meters and primary over-current prot

ection equipment

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with

caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe

operation.
1.

NEVER

apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the

specified maximum:
