About this document

IEC 60529: Protection Ratings Explained by tceterex is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document describes the IP code system for classifying degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against solid objects, water, and dust. The IP code is made up of two digits where the first digit refers to protection against solid objects and the second refers to water protection. Higher code numbers indicate higher levels of protection. For example, an IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress (first digit 5) and splashing water (second digit 4).
