Measurement Category
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards
for various electrical environments, categorized as O to CAT IV, and called measurement
categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater
momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed for CAT III environments can
endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.
O : Circuits which are not directly connected to the mains power supply.
CAT II : Electrical circuits of equipment conne
cted to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected directly to the distribution panel,
and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV: The circuit from the service drop t o the service entrance, and to the power meter and

● Always clamp the secondary side of VT or CT (transformer).
● Do not open-circuit the secondary side of CT while it is energized; otherwise, dangerous
high voltage will be generated at the secondary side.
● When using a VT or CT, the declared measurement accuracy is not guaranteed. If using
either or both of them, please take the accuracies of KEW 2060BT, VT and CT, and also
If voltage or current values of the measurement line exceed the max measuring range of
KEW 2060BT, the primary side value of the line can be obtained by measuring the secondary
side using proper VT or CT for the specific line’s voltage or current. See the diagram below.

KEW 2060BT
KEW 2060BT Voltage harmonics distortion factor, content rate, RMS value
There are two typical definitions used when dealing with Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
The two types of Total Harmonic Distortion are THD-F and THD-R. THD-F uses
fundamental wave forms and THD-R uses total RMS values as a reference.
THD-F
THD-R
They both are figures of merit used to quantify harmonic levels in voltage and current
waveforms; however, the THD-R measurement can be prone to misinterpretation which
can easily lead to measurement errors when measuring larger distortions. That is , at low
distortion levels, the difference between the two calculation methods - THD-F and T HD-R
- is negligible but at large distortion levels, THD-F can get more accurate results.
With the former measuring devices, accurate measurement of RMS fundamental wave
(first order only), which is required for THD-F calculation had been difficult; therefore,
THD-R has been commonly used. Although, recent devices can measure it accurately. So
now in practice, THD-R is used for simple measurements and the distortion f actor of
THD-F, l ess susceptive to harmonics content rate against specified measurement
accuracy, is commonly used.
Where inves tigating what causes harmonics on load side, THD-R measurement if often
used, and for power quality control purpose, the THD-F is mainly used.
