    Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures This

    This document describes the IP coding system used to classify the degrees of protection provided by electrical equipment enclosures. The IP code uses two numbers to indicate protection from solids/dust and liquids. A code like IP54 would mean the enclosure is protected from solid objects over 1mm and protected against splashing water from any direction. The document provides tables that define the level of protection corresponding to each numerical code.

    IP CODES

    Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures

    This standard describes a system for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical
    equipment. Developed by the European Committee for Electro technical Standardization (CENELEC), these standards are
    designed to numerically rate an electrical product on the level of protection its enclosure provides. By assigning different
    number codes, the product's degree of protection can be identified quickly and easily. In the code IP 54, for example, IP
    identifies this standard, the 5 describes the level of protection from solid objects, and 4 describes the level of protection
    from liquids.

    First DEGREE OF PROTECTION (First Number in Code)


    Characteristic
    Numeral Brief Description Definition

    0 Not protected -

    1 Protected against solid foreign objects of The object probe, sphere of 50mm diameter, shall not
    50mm diameter and greater. fully penetrate.1

    2 Protected against solid foreign objects of The object probe, sphere of 12.5mm diameter, shall not
    12.5mm diameter and greater. fully penetrate.1

    3 Protected against solid foreign objects of The object probe, sphere of 2.5mm diameter, shall not
    2.5mm diameter and greater penetrate at all.1

    4 Protected against solid foreign objects of The object probe, sphere of 1mm diameter, shall not
    1mm diameter and greater. penetrate at all.1

    5 Dust-protected Ingress of dust is not totally prevented, but dust shall not
    penetrate in a quantity to interfere with satisfactory
    operation of the apparatus or to impair safety

    6 Dust-tight No ingress of dust.

    1 The full diameter of the object shall not pass through an opening of the enclosure

    vertically falling water
    drops.

    2 Protected against Vertically falling drops have no harmful effects when the enclosure is tilted
    vertically falling water at any angle up to 15° on either side of the vertical.
    drops when enclosure is
    titled up to 15°.

    3 Protected against spraying Water sprayed at an angle up to 60° degrees on either side of the vertical
    water. shall have no harmful effects.

    4 Protected against Water splashed against the enclosure from any direction shall have no
    splashing water harmful effects.

    5 Protected against water Water projected in jets against the enclosure from any direction shall have
    jets. no harmful effects.

    immersion in water. standardized conditions of pressure and time.

    8 Protected against the Ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible
    effects of continuous when the enclosure is continuously immersed in water under conditions
    immersion in water. which shall be agreed between manufacturer and the user, but are more
