5. "10A" jack
Insert the red test lead in this connector in order to
measure a max. current of 10 A.
Test lead probe: CAT II 500 V/CAT III 300 V, 10 A, L
= 90 cm
7. Overvoltage/Installation Category
The applicable categories according EN 61010-1 are:
A CAT II-rated meter is suitable for measurements in
CAT I-environments and mono-phase appliances that
are connected to the mains by means of a plug and
CAT
circuits in a normal domestic environment, provided
II
that the circuit is at least 10m apart from a CAT III-
or 20 m apart from a CAT IV-environment. E.g.
household appliances, portable tools...
A CAT III-rated meter is suitable for measurements
in CAT I- and CAT II-environments, as well as for
measurements on (fixed) mono- or poly-phased
CAT
appliances which are at least 10 m apart from of a
III
CAT IV-environment, and for measurements in or on
distribution level equipment (fuse boxes, lighting
circuits, electric ovens).
8. Pollution Degree
IEC 61010-1 specifies different types of pollution
environments, for which different protective measures are
necessary to ensure safety. Harsher environments require
more protection, and the protection against the pollution
which is to be found in a certain environment depends
mainly on the insulation and the enclosure properties. The
pollution degree rating of the DVM indicates in which
environment the device may be used.
