Commonly used IP ratings for electrical switch cabinets and their representative meanings:
The IP protection rating consists of two numbers. The first number indicates the dust and foreign object intrusion protection level of the appliance, and the second number indicates the degree of airtightness of the appliance to prevent moisture and water intrusion. The larger the number, the higher the protection level.
IP20: Indicates that it can prevent the intrusion of solid objects with a diameter greater than 12.5 mm, and the waterproof level is not enough to prevent water intrusion.
IP54: In addition to preventing the intrusion of solid objects with a diameter greater than 12.5 mm, it can also prevent the intrusion of most vertically falling or leggera water drops.
IP67: Indicates that it can completely prevent the intrusion of foreign objects and can withstand short-term immersion in water for a certain period of time.
