2.7 Low Voltage Directive
Applicable standard: EN61010-1
(1) Pollution Degree 2
"Pollution degree" describes the degree to which
a	solid,	liquid,	or	gas	which	deteriorates	dielectric	
strength	or	surface	resistivity	is	adhering.	"	2	"	applies	
to	normal	indoor	atmosphere.	Normally,	only	non-
conductive	pollution	occurs.	Occasionally,	however,	
temporary	conductivity	caused	by	condensation	must	
be	expected.
(2) Installation Category I
"Overvoltage category(Installation category)"
describes	a	number	which	defines	a	transient	
overvoltage	condition.	It	implies	the	regulation	for	
impulse	withstand	voltage.	"	I	"	applies	to	electrical	
equipment	which	is	supplied	from	the	circuit	when	
appropriate	transient	overvoltage	control	means	
(interfaces)	are	provided.
