Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical
environments, specified as CAT I through CAT IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories
correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed for CAT III
environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.
• CAT I: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical outlet through a transformer or similar device.
• CAT II: Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
CAT III: Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders
from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the power meter and primary over
current protection device (distribution panel).
