GAMBICA’s Test & Measurement technical group, ‘Electrical Installation Test Instruments Group’ [EITIG], has written some excellent guidance which industry experts refer to.

The guides have been put together by the group to offer help, advice and best practice for instrument manufacturers and end-users.

The GAMBICA Guide to Overvoltage Categories and Measurement Categories explains clearly and simply the meaning and significance of the different measurement and overvoltage categories. It has been created to help electricians better understand measurement category ratings for testing equipment, and where the boundaries lie within an electrical installation. You can read the guide here. 

GAMBICA members can also access the Electrical Installation Test Instruments guide here.  Plus a publication about GAMBICA’s position on touch current limits here.  A guide to instrument calibration can be found here too.

Andrew Evans, GAMBICA’s Technical Director, said: “Producing these valuable publications is part of being a GAMBICA member. Together with our members, we are experts in our sectors and want to produce clear guidance and explanations to help others in the industries we cover.”
