WARNING:
IEC Measurement Category II includes electrical devices connected to mains at an outlet on a branch
circuit, such as most small appliances, test equipments, and other devices that plug into a branch
outlet or socket.
SDM3055
is capable of making measurements with the
HI
and
LO
inputs connected to mains in
such devices (up to 600VAC) or the branch outlet itself. However, the
HI
and
LO
terminals of
SDM3055
can’t
be connected to mains in permanently installed electrical devices such as the main
circuit-breaker panels, sub-panel disconnected boxes and permanently wired motors. Such devices
and circuits are prone to exceed the protection limits of
SDM3055
.
NOTE:
Voltages above 600VAC only can be measured in circuits that are isolated from mains. However,
there may be transient over-voltage in circuits that are isolated from mains.
SDM3055
is able to
withstand occasional transient over-voltage up to 2500Vpk. Please
don’t
use this instrument to
measure circuits that transient over-voltage may exceed this level.
