3.2 IEC Measurement Category & Pollution Degree Definitions

Measurement Category (CAT) - classification of testing and measuring circuits according to the types of mains circuits to which they are intended to be connected.

Measurement Category other than II, III, or IV: circuits that are not directly connected to the mains supply.

Measurement Category II (CAT II): test and measuring circuits connected directly to utilization points (socket outlets and similar prints) of the low-voltage mains installation.

Measurement Category III (CAT III): test and measuring circuits connected to the distribution part of a building's low-voltage mains installation.

Measurement Category IV (CAT IV): test and measuring circuits connected at the source of the building's low-voltage mains installation.

Mains Isolated: is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to a mains supply.

Pollution - addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases) that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity.

Pollution Degree 2 (P2) - only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.

4 Introduction

4.1 Overview

The Testec TT-SX 900x Series High-Voltage Differential probes allow conventional earth-grounded oscilloscopes to be used for floating signal measurements - up to 700 V differential or common mode voltage (TT-SX 9001) and up to 1400 V differential or common mode voltage (TT-SX 9002).

Each model offers user selectable attenuation setting of 10x & 100x (TT-SX 9001) and 20x & 200x (TT-SX 9002), making both probes highly versatile and usable for a broad range of applications including power supply measurements and motor controls.

Both probes are compatible with any oscilloscope with a 1 MΩ BNC female input and feature up to 30 MHz of bandwidth. The probes can be powered by any oscilloscope USB port, internal batteries (4 AA batteries, not included in the scope of delivery), or mains power adapter.
