This instrument meets CAT. III 300V/ CAT.IV150V. To ensure safe
operationofmeasuringinstruments,IEC61010establishessafetystandards
for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT.II to CAT.IV, and
called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond
to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring
