Agilent Technologies 34401A - Manual (Page 5)

34401A User’s Guide v
IEC Measurement Category II includes elec-
trical devices connected to mains at an out-
let on a branch circuit. Such devices include
most small appliances, test equipment, and
other devices that plug into a branch outlet
or socket. The 34401A may be used to make
measurements with the HI and LO inputs
connected to mains in such devices, or to
the branch outlet itself (up to 300 VAC).
However, the 34401A may not be used with
its HI and LO inputs connected to mains in
permanently installed electrical devices
such as the main circuit-breaker panel,
sub-panel disconnect boxes, or permanently
wired motors. Such devices and circuits are
subject to overvoltages that may exceed the
protection limits of the 34401A.
Note: Voltages above 300 VAC may be mea-
sured only in circuits that are isolated from
mains. However, transient overvoltages are
also present on circuits that are isolated
from mains. The Agilent 34401A are
designed to safely withstand occasional
transient overvoltages up to 2500 Vpk. Do
not use this equipment to measure circuits
where transient overvoltages could exceed
this level.
