Definition of measurement categories
Measurement category II: Measurements on circuits directly connected to
low voltage networks electrically via plug. Typical short-circuit current
< 10 kA.
Measurement category III: Measurements within the building installation
(stationary consumer devices with non-plug-in connection, distributor con-
nection, permanently installed equipment in the distributor). Typical short-
circuit current < 50 kA.
Measurement category IV: Measurements at the source of the low volt-
age installation (meters, mains connection, primary overcurrent protec-
tion). Typical short-circuit current >> 50 kA.
To establish the measurement category in a combination
of test lead and measuring instrument, the lowest cate-
gory, either of the test lead or the measuring instrument,
