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.

aggregation period. To conserve battery power, the instrument powers down
between samples and wakes up 5 seconds before the next sample. While
extended recording mode extends battery life, it reduces measurement
resolution.
