BS EN 61010-031:2002+A1:2008 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Safety requirements for hand-held probe assemblies for electrical measurement and test
This part of IEC 61010 applies to hand-held and hand-manipulated PROBE ASSEMBLIES of the
types described below, and related accessories which are intended for professional, industrial
process, and educational use. These PROBE ASSEMBLIES are for use in the interface between an
electrical phenomenon and test or measurement equipment. They may be fixed to the
equipment or be detachable accessories for the equipment.
a) Low-voltage and high-voltage, non-attenuating PROBE ASSEMBLIES (type A). Non-attenuating
PROBE ASSEMBLIES that are RATED for direct connection to voltages exceeding 33 V r.m.s. or
46,7 V peak or 70 V d.c., but not exceeding 63 kV. They do not incorporate active
components, nor are they intended to provide a voltage divider function or a signal
conditioning function, but they may contain passive non-attenuating components such as
fuses.
b) High-voltage attenuating or divider PROBE ASSEMBLIES (type B). Attenuating or divider
PROBE ASSEMBLIES that are RATED for direct connection to secondary voltages exceeding
1 kV but not exceeding 63 kV. The divider function may be carried out wholly within the
PROBE ASSEMBLY, or partly within the test or measurement equipment to be used with the
PROBE ASSEMBLY.
c) Low-voltage attenuating or divider PROBE ASSEMBLIES (type C). Attenuating, divider or other
signal conditioning PROBE ASSEMBLIES for direct connection to voltages exceeding 33 V
r.m.s or 46,7 V peak or 70 V d.c., but not exceeding 1 kV r.m.s. or 1,5 kV d.c. The signal
conditioning function may be carried out wholly within the PROBE ASSEMBLY, or partly within
the test or measurement equipment intended to be used with the PROBE ASSEMBLY.
Low-voltage attenuating and non-attenuating PROBE ASSEMBLIES (type D), that are RATED
for direct connection only to voltages not exceeding 33 V r.m.s., or 46,7 V peak, or
70 V d.c., and are suitable for currents exceeding 8 A.
