Trotec BE52, Operating Manual

6 EN digital true RMS multimeter BE52
The design of a measurement device determines in which
environments and for which voltages it can be safely used. What
is important in this connection for example is the touchability of
live parts, anti-kink protection guards on the measuring lines or
the insulation. Depending on the design details, the
measurement device can carry out safe measurements up to a
specific voltage in one or several overvoltage categories. The
measurement category is specified on the measurement device
as well as in the operating manual.
The measurement category is indicated including the maximum
voltage height, which can either be 300, 600 or 1000 Volt. The
designation CAT III/1000 V for example means that the
measurement device may be used in low-voltage indoor
installation for voltages up to 1000 volts.
Often several values are indicated on the device, for instance
CAT III/ 1000 V and CAT IV/600 V. In these cases, different
maximum voltages apply to the stated scopes of application. If
no measurement category is specified, the measurement device
is only considered as safe in measurement category CAT I.
This measurement device is suited for category CAT III (600 V).
