Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on 
circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system 
referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical 
supply system that powers equipment. This category is for 
measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary 
circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special
