OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY
• Equipment of CAT is equipment for connection to circuits
in which measures are taken to limit the transient
overvoltages to an appropriate low level.
Note: Examples include protected electronic circuits.
• Equipment of CAT is energy-consuming equipment to be
supplied from the fixed installation.
Note: Examples include household, office, and laboratory
appliances.
• Equipment of CAT is equipment in fixed installations.
Note: Examples include switches in the fixed installation and
some equipment for industrial use with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.
• Equipment of CAT is for use at the origin of the installation.
Note: Examples include electricity meters and primary over-
current protection equipment.
