Measuring Categories
The measuring category CAT
I
is intended for taking measurements on
circuitry not directly connected to the power mains.
The measuring category CAT
II
is intended for taking measurements on
low-voltage circuitry. Examples for this are household appliances, mobile
electric devices or similar equipment.
The measuring category CAT
III
is intended for taking measurements on
house installations. Examples for this are measurements on switches,
power sockets, distribution boxes, circuit breakers, wiring, terminal strips
and connection boxes on fixed house installation, but also for measure-
ments on industrial devices and equipment such as permanently installed
motors.
The measuring category CAT
IV
is intended for taking measurements on
sources of low-voltage installation, such as counters or measurements on
primary overload protection equipment.
