1.4. DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORY
Standard “IEC/EN61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements” defines what measurement
category, commonly called overvoltage category, is. § 6.7.4: Measured circuits, reads:
(OMISSIS)
Circuits are divided into the following measurement categories:
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the low-
voltage installation.
Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection
devices and ripple control units.
Measurement category III is for measurements performed on installations inside
buildings.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including
cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and
equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors
with permanent connection to fixed installation.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the low-voltage installation.
Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar
equipment.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to 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 standard requires that the transient withstand capability of
the equipment is made known to the user.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The instrument HT401 carries out the following measurements:
DC and AC TRMS voltage
DC and AC TRMS current
Resistance and Continuity test
Frequency of voltage and current
Capacitance
Diode test
Temperature with type K probe
DC/AC voltage measurement with low impedance (AutoV)
Each of these functions can be selected using the 10-position rotary switch, including an
OFF position. The instrument is also equipped with function keys (see § 4.2) a bargraph
and backlight. The selected quantity appears on the LCD display with the indication of the
measuring unit and of the enabled functions.
The instrument is also equipped with an Auto Power OFF function which automatically
switches off the instrument approx. 20 minutes after the last time a function key was
pressed or the rotary switch was turned. To switch on the instrument again, turn the rotary
switch.
2.1. MEASURING AVERAGE VALUES AND TRMS VALUES
Measuring instruments of alternating quantities are divided into two big families:
AVERAGE-VALUE meters: instruments measuring the value of the sole wave at
fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz).
TRMS (True Root Mean Square) VALUE meters: instruments measuring the TRMS
value of the quantity being tested.
In the presence of a perfectly sinusoidal wave, the two families of instruments provide
identical results. In the presence of distorted waves, instead, the rdg shall differ. Averagevalue meters provide the RMS value of the sole fundamental wave; TRSM meters,
instead, provide the RMS value of the whole wave, including harmonics (within the
instrument’s bandwidth). Therefore, by measuring the same quantity with instruments from
both families, the values obtained are identical only if the wave is perfectly sinusoidal. In
case it is distorted, TRMS meters shall provide higher values than the values read by
average-value meters.
2.2. DEFINITION OF TRUE ROOT MEAN SQUARE VALUE AND CREST FACTOR
The root mean square value of current is defined as follows: “In a time equal to a period,
an alternating current with a root mean square value with an intensity of 1A, circulating on
a resistor, dissipates the same energy that, during the same time, would have been
dissipated by a direct current with an intensity of 1A”. This definition results in the numeric
expression:
Tt
0
1
2
dttg
G=
T
The Crest Factor is defined as the relationship between the Peak Value of a signal and its
RMS value: CF (G)=
sinusoidal wave it is 2=1.41. In case of distortion, the Crest Factor takes higher values
as wave distortion increases.
)(
t

The root mean square value is indicated with the acronym RMS.

This value changes with the signal waveform, for a purely
