Category 3 meters are intended for which type of use?

Category 3 meters are designed specifically for industrial purposes. These meters are built to handle the electrical environments typically found in industrial settings, which often include harsh conditions and the presence of high levels of electrical noise.

In industrial settings, the equipment needs to measure various electrical parameters accurately and reliably under a range of operating conditions. This includes the capability to manage higher voltage and current levels, which are more prevalent in industrial applications as compared to residential environments.

While residential current focuses on lower voltage applications typically found in homes, and categories related to telecommunications and electronic equipment address specific needs within those fields, category 3 meters are robust enough to support the diverse and demanding requirements of industrial power systems.
