Figure 2.1: Category indication according to IEC 61010-2-030:2010
Example: A measurement device is specified as 600 V CAT II, maximum input
voltage 1000 V DC.

Using the above table one can deduct that this specification informs the user
the device passed the insulation tests; 5 sec at 2.210 V RMS and impulse
4.000 V. The maximum operating input voltage is 1000 V DC. This device is to
be used to measure CAT II circuitry up to 600 V.
WARNING
Measurement inputs of this instrument should not be used to measure
high-energy signals of measurement categories CAT II, CAT III or
CAT IV (IEC 61010-2-30:2010) (e.g. mains measurements) , unless
specifically stated for the specific input.
