2013年8月2日 · Protect your electrical enclosure and its contents by knowing where and how it will be used so that you can order one with the correct IP Rating. An IP (Ingress Protection) rating is used by buyers in Europe to specify the extent of protection an electrical enclosure has against environmental conditions.

It is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the international standard IEC 60529 [1] which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water.

IP ratings classify the levels of protection against solid objects, dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. IP ratings are key for understanding how well an instrument is sealed against dust and moisture. What is IP Protection? “ IP ” stands for “ ingress protection.

In this article we'll explain what IP means, how to read that code and also explain in details the different protection levels. IP Code Rating. A product with an IP00 rating is not protected against solid objects and is not protected against liquids.

IP40 : Protected from tools and small wires greater than 1 millimeter. Not protected from liquids. IP38 : Protected from tools and wires greater than 2.5 millimeters. Protected from long term immersion up to a specified pressure. IP37 : Protected …

Electric and electronic equipment deteriorate or malfunction when water or dust enters the device. The IEC has developed the ingress protection (IP) ratings, which grade the resistance of an enclosure against the intrusion of dust or liquids.The ratings are widely used throughout industry.

2025年1月15日 · View our IP rafting chart and read our definitions to understand the sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against foreign particles like accidental contact, dust, moisture, and liquids.

IEC 60529 has classified the degree of protection offered by an enclosure against solid particles and liquid. This classification is known as the ingress protection code/ IP code/ IP rating/ index of protection.

2023年1月6日 · Typical IP ratings for instrument cases might start from around IP40, indicating resistance to particulates only (i.e. not intended for outdoor use), but it’s also common to see ratings up to IP67+ for full immersion resistance.

The number 40 in IP40 has a very specific meaning. The first digit being 4 means that there is protection against entry by tools, wires, etc. with a diameter of 2.5mm or more. The second digit being 0 means that there is no protection against moisture.
