Measurement Category
The clamp ammeter has a safety rating of 1000 V, CAT III and 600 V, CAT IV.
Measurement category definition
Measurement CAT I applies to measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the
AC mains. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from the AC mains and specially
protected (internal) mains- derived circuits.
Measurement CAT II applies to protect against transients from energy-consuming equipment
supplied from the fixed installation, such as TVs, PCs, portable tools, and other household circuits.
Measurement CAT III applies to protect against transients in equipment in fixed equipment
installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and lighting systems in
large buildings.
Measurement CAT IV applies to measurements performed at the source of the low- voltage
installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary over current protection
devices and ripple control units.
