Measurement Category
The InfiniiVision oscilloscopes are intended to be used for measurements in
Measurement Category I.
Measurement Category Definitions
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS,
and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case, transient
stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of the equipment
is made known to the user.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected
to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household appliances,
portable tools and similar equipment.
Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including
cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and
equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors
with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the
low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary
overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units.
WARNING
Use this instrument only for measurements within its specified measurement
category.
