What is IP55 Protection?
- Protection for the enclosed equipment from dust and other materials such as dirt, oils and non-corrosives.
**This enclosure is not air tight and therefore only allows dust size particles in non-harmful quantities to penetrate. - Protection from voltage and moving parts for people who come in contact with the enclosure.
- Protection from water, including water sprayed from a nozzle onto the enclosure.
Protection from Solids
- Complete Protection from any tools or objects (dust permitted - no harmful deposits).
- IP55 enclosures are not air tight and therefore only allow dust size particles in non-harmful quantities to penetrate.
Protection from Moisture
- IP55 enclosures protect from low-pressure water jets from all directions, (limited ingress permitted).
Weather Conditions Enclosure can Withstand
- IPP55 enclosures can be hosed down with normal pressure eg. residential garden hose.
