5. Pollution degree
IEC 61010-
1 specifies different types of pollution environments, for which different protective
measures are necessary to ensure safety. Harsher environments require more protection, and the
protection against the pollution which is to be
found in a certain environment depends mainly on
the insulation and the enclosure properties. The pollution degree rating of the DVM indicates in
which environment the device may be used.
No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollutio
n occurs. The pollution has no
influence (only to be found in hermetically sealed enclosures)
Only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, temporary conductivity
caused by condensation is to be expected
