4. Overvoltage/Installation Category

DMMs are categorized depending on the risk and severity of transient overvoltage

that might occur at the point of test. Transients are short-lived bursts of energy

induced in a system, e.g. caused by lightning strike on a power line.

The existing categories according EN 61010-1 are:

CAT I

A CAT I-rated meter is suitable for measurements on protected

electronic circuits that are not directly connected to mains power, e.g.

electronics circuits, control signals…

CAT II

A CAT II-rated meter is suitable for measurements in CAT I

environments and mono-phase appliances that are connected to the

mains by means of a plug and circuits in a normal domestic

environment, provided that the circuit is at least 10 m apart from a

CAT III, or 20 m apart from a CAT IV environment. E.g. household

appliances, portable tools…

CAT III

A CAT III-rated meter is suitable for measurements in CAT I and

CAT II environments, as well as for measurements on (fixed) mono- or

poly-phased appliances which are at least 10 m apart from a CAT IV

environment, and for measurements in or on distribution level

equipment (fuse boxes, lighting circuits, electric ovens).

CAT IV

A CAT IV-rated meter is suitable for measuring in CAT I, CAT II and

CAT III environments as well as on the primary supply level.

Note that for all measurements on equipment for which the supply

cables run outdoors (either overhead or underground) a CAT IV meter

must be used.

Warning: This device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1 installation

category CAT III 600V. This implies that certain restrictions in use apply that are

related to voltages and voltage peaks which can occur within the environment of

use. Refer to the table above.

This device is suitable for measurements up to 600 V:

measurements in/on low-voltage distribution boards (distribution boards behind

meter box)

measurements on (fixed) mono- or poly-phased appliances and circuits except

in CAT IV environments (e.g. mains outlets, electric ovens, lighting circuits, bus

bars, low-voltage distribution boards and circuit breakers).

This device is NOT suitable for:

Voltages above 1000 V

Measurements on distribution equipment and outdoor installations including

meter boxes and equipment/circuits outside or remote from the domestic

environment e.g. circuits in sheds, garden houses and free-standing garages, or

circuits using underground wiring e.g. garden lighting, pool-pump…

THIS DEVICE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR MEASUREMENTS UP TO 600 V IN

CAT III.

5. Pollution Degree

IEC 61010-1 specifies different types of pollution environments, for which different

protective measures are necessary to ensure safety. Harsher environments require

more protection, and the protection against the pollution which is to be found in a

certain environment depends mainly on the insulation and the enclosure

properties. The pollution degree rating of the DMM indicates in which environment

the device may be used.

Pollution

degree 1

No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The pollution

has no influence (only to be found in hermetically sealed enclosures).

Pollution

degree 2

Only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, temporary

conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected (home and

office environments fall under this category).

Pollution

degree 3

Conductive pollution occurs, or dry nonconductive pollution occurs

that becomes conductive due to condensation that is to be expected

(industrial environments and environments exposed to outside air -

but not in contact with precipitation).

Pollution

degree 4

The pollution generates persistent conductivity caused by conductive

dust or by rain or snow (exposed outdoor environments and

environments where high humidity levels or high concentrations of

fine particles occur).

Warning: This device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1 pollution

degree 2. This implies that certain restrictions in use apply that are related to

pollution which can occur within the environment of use. Refer to the table above.

THIS DEVICE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR MEASUREMENTS IN POLLUTION

DEGREE CLASS 2 ENVIRONMENTS.
