| IP |
Description |
|---|---|
| IP44 | Protection for the enclosed equipment from the entry of solid articles with a diameter greater than 1mm into the enclosure. |
| IP54 | Commonly used as traffic control cabinets because of the ability to protect electrical equipment from splashing water or rain conditions. |
| IP55 |
Weather-resistant enclosures that include a degree of protection from windblown dust and ingress of water. |
| IP56 | Designed very similar to NEMA 3 enclosures, however, 3R enclosures can be ventilated. |
| IP57 | Often called rain tight enclosures due to their excellent weather resistance. |
| IP65 | Generally manufactured using 304 & 316 stainless steel due to its protection from corrosive materials. |
| IP66 | Dust tight enclosures that are constructed without punch outs. |
| NEMA |
Description |
|---|---|
| NEMA 1 | General purpose enclosures that are typically manufactured to protect live parts. |
| NEMA 2 | Offer the same level of protection as NEMA 1, but NEMA 2 enclosures are drip-tight. |
| NEMA 3 |
Weather-resistant enclosures that include a degree of protection from windblown dust and ingress of water. |
| NEMA 3R | Designed very similar to NEMA 3 enclosures, however, 3R enclosures can be ventilated. |
