Denition of Measurement Categories (CAT)
CAT IV corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical
supply (<1000 V).
Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, and meters.
CAT III corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation at
the distribution level.
Example: hardwired equipment in xed installation and circuit breakers.
CAT II corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly connected
to the electrical distribution system.
Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.
