(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The instrument falls under
degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry,
non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution
has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-
conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally,
however, a temporary conductivity caused by
condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs,
or dry, non-conductive pollution occurs which
becomes conductive due to condensation which
is expected. In such conditions, equipment is
normally protected against exposure to direct
sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure,
but neither temperature nor humidity is
controlled.
