Protection class 2 (double or reinforced insulation, protective insulation).
CAT I
Measuring category I for measurements at electrical and electronic
devices that are not directly supplied with mains voltage (e.g. battery-
powered devices, protective low voltages, signal and control voltages,
etc.)
CAT II
Measuring category II for measurements at electrical and electronic
devices connected to the mains supply directly with a mains plug. This
category also covers all lower categories (e.g. CAT I for measuring
signal and control voltages).
CAT III
Measuring category III for measuring in building installation (e.g. out-
lets or sub-distribution). This category also covers all lower categories
(e.g. CAT II for measuring electronic devices).
