categories
(cf. CEI 664-1)
CAT
I
: CAT I circuits are protected by devices designed to minimize
transient overvoltages at a low level.
E.g.: protected electronic circuits
CAT
II
:CAT II circuits are domestic or similar equipment power supply
circuits that can include average value transient overvoltages.
E.g.: power supply to domestic appliances and portable tools.
CAT
III
: CAT III circuits are circuits for power equipment power supplies
which may include high transient overvoltages.
E.g.: machine or industrial apparatus power supply.
CAT
IV
: CAT IV circuits are circuits that can include very high transient
overvoltages.
E.g.: energy inputs
before use
•
Comply with environment and storage conditions.
during use
•
