Measurement Category Definition
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the MAINS. Examples
are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits.
In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the user must understand the transient withstand
capability of the equipment.
Warning
IEC Measurement Category. Under IEC Category I mounting conditions, the input terminal can be connected to the
circuit terminal with a maximum line voltage of 300Vrms. To avoid the risk of electric shock, the input terminal
should not be connected to the circuit with a line voltage greater than 300Vrms. Instantaneous overvoltage is
present in circuits that are isolated from the mains supply. The Smart series digital oscilloscope is designed to safely
withstand sporadic transient overvoltage up to 1000Vpk. Do not use this equipment for any measurements in
circuits where the instantaneous overvoltage exceeds this value.
