Definitions of the
measurement
categories
CAT II:
Test and measurement circuits directly connected to the points of use
of the low-voltage network (power outlets and other similar points).
E.g.: Measurements on the network circuits of household appliances, portable
tools, and similar devices.
CAT III:
Test and measurement circuits connected to parts of the low-voltage
network of the building.
E.g.: Measurements on distribution panels (including secondary meters), circuit-
breakers, wiring including cables, bus bars, branch boxes, disconnecting
switches, power outlets in the fixed installation, and industrial appliances and
other equipment, such as motors permanently connected to the fixed
installation.
CAT IV:
Test and measurement circuits connected to the source of the low-
voltage network of the building.
E.g.: Measurements on devices installed before the main fuse or the circuit-
breaker of the building installation.
Warning!
Using a measuring instrument, a lead, or an accessory belonging to a lower
measurement or voltage category derates the resulting system (instrument
+ leads + accessories) to the lowest measurement category and/or service
voltage of any of the components.
Symbols on the
instrument
Risk of electric shock: directions for connection and disconnection of the inputs.
Always connect the probes or adapters to the instrument before connecting them
