Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system
referred to as
MAINS
voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical
supply system that powers equipment. This category is for
measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary
circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special
equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by
regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.
Caution
Do not connect to signals or use for
