DEGREES OF PROTECTION IP
This is a two-number coding system (e.g. IP 65) to indicate the degrees of protection provided by the enclosure against access to hazardous parts.
- The number that comes first indicates the degree of protection against penetration by solid bodies.
- The number that comes second indicates the degree of protection against penetration by liquids.
TABLE 1 - Indicated degrees of protection for the first digit (solids)
| 0 | Unprotected |
| 1 | Protected against solid bodies with a diameter greater than 50 mm. |
| 2 | Protected against solid bodies with a diameter greater than 12 mm. |
| 3 | Protected against solid bodies with a diameter greater than 12 mm. |
| 4 | Protected against solid bodies with a diameter greater than 2.5 mm. |
| 5 | Protected against dust penetration sufficiently so as not to damage the equipment. |
| 6 | Completely dust-tight |
Table 2 - Indicated degrees of protection for the second digit (liquids)
| 0 | Unprotected |
| 1 | Protected against vertically falling water droplets |
| 2 | Protected against falling water droplets with a maximum inclination of 15 degrees. |
| 3 | Protected against fine rain (sprayed) |
| 4 | Protected against water splashing in all directions |
| 5 | Protected against water jets from all directions |
| 6 | Protected against strong jets of water or rough seas |
