NI 7340 User Manual and Specifications
• Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to
the electrical distribution system (MAINS
3
). This category refers to local-level electrical
distribution, such as that provided by a standard wall outlet (for example, 115 AC voltage
for U.S. or 230 AC voltage for Europe). Examples of Measurement Category II are
measurements performed on household appliances, portable tools, and similar hardware.
• Measurement Category III is for measurements performed in the building installation at the
distribution level. This category refers to measurements on hard-wired hardware such as
hardware in fixed installations, distribution boards, and circuit breakers. Other examples
are wiring, including cables, bus bars, junction boxes, switches, socket outlets in the fixed
installation, and stationary motors with permanent connections to fixed installations.
• Measurement Category IV is for measurements performed at the primary electrical supply
installation typically outside buildings. Examples include electricity meters and
measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and on ripple control units.
