CAT III 1000 V & CAT IV 600 V per UL61010, 3
Edition
RD
Safety category ratings are important, differences and limitations are as follows:
CAT III 1000 V –rating allows up to 1000-V phase to ground with distribution level wiring, 480-volt
and 600-volt circuits such as 3-phase bus and feeder circuits, motor control centers, load centers and
distribution panels. Also included in CAT III are switchgear, motors, transformers and similar fixed
loads, and loads that can generate their own transients.
CAT IV 600 V - rating means that it is suitable for use in all locations such as 3-phase utility or outdoor
wiring on conductors that have up to 600-V phase to ground. Applications may include overhead or
underground lines that power detached buildings or underground lines that power well pumps.
Transient Withstand: Both CAT III & CAT IV ratings are tested to withstand an 8,000-V transient
overvoltage event from a 2 ohm source.
