Protection class 2 (double or reinforced 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. outlets or sub-distribution). This category
also covers all lower categories (e.g. CAT II for measuring electronic devices).
CAT Iv
Measuring category IV for measurements at the source of the low-voltage installation (e.g. main distribu-
tion, building handover points of the energy suppliers, etc.), and outdoors (e.g. work at earthing cable,
outdoor line, etc.). This category also contains all lower categories.
