Overvoltage Categories (CAT )
To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 60664 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called overvoltage categories. These are defined as follows.
3
1
CAT I Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC
electrical outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CAT II Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to
an AC electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)
CAT III Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed
installations) 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 over­current protection device (distribution panel).
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy. So a measurement device designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than a device designed for CAT II. Using a measurement instrument in an environment designated with a higher-numbered category than that for which the instrument is rated could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
