Attribute Specification
Protection class
1
1. Protection Class I – The insulating scheme used in the instrument to protect from
electrical shock. Class I identifies a single level of insulation between live parts (wires) and
exposed conductive parts (metal panels), in which the exposed conductive parts are connected
to a grounding system. In turn, this grounding system is connected to the third pin (ground
pin) on the electrical power cord plug.
Class I
Overvoltage category
2
2. Overvoltage Category II – Pertains to instruments that receive their electrical power from
a local level such as an electrical wall outlet.
II
Pollution degree
3
3. Pollution Degree 2 – A measure of pollution on electrical circuits that can produce a
reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity. Degree 2 refers only to normally
nonconductive pollution. Occasionally, however, expect a temporary conductivity caused by
condensation.
2
Moisture protection
4
4. Moisture Protection – Normal (IPX0) – IPX0 means that no Ingress Protection against any
type of dripping or sprayed water exists. The “X” is a placeholder that identifies protection
against dust, if applicable.
Normal (IPX0)
Line voltages, nominal Grounded AC
