IP 66/67 , IK 09/10 protection aluminum enclosure
※ IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) defines protection structure of electric instruments or protection boxes as follows.
1st Digit | Protection against solid | 2nd Digit | Protection against liquids | IK Code | Protection against mechanical impact |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
IP | TEST | IP | TEST | IK | TEST |
0 | No protection | 0 | No protection | 0 | No protection |
1 | Protection against solid objects up to 50mm, e.g. accidental touch by hands. | 1 | Protected against vertically falling drops of water. | 01 ~ 05 |
Impact < 1 Joule |
2 | Protection against solid objects up to 12mm, e.g. fingers. | 2 | Protected against direct sprays of water up to 15 ° from the vertical. | 06 | Impact = 1 joule |
3 | Protection against solid objects over 2.5mm. (tools and wires) | 3 | Protected against direct sprays of water up to 60° from the vertical. | 07 | Impact = 2 joule |
4 | Protection against solid objects over 1mm. (tools, wires and small wire) | 4 | Protected against water sprays from all directions ㅡlimited ingress permitted. | 08 | Impact = 5 joule |
5 | Protection against dust limited ingress. | 5 | Protected against low pressure jets of water from all directions ㅡ limited ingress permitted. | 09 | Impact = 10 joule |
6 | Totally protected against dust. | 6 | Protected against strong pressure jets of water from all directions ㅡlimited ingress permitted. | 10 | Impact = 20 joule |
7 | Protected against the effects of temporary immersion between 15cm and 1m in water. | ||||
8 | Protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water. |
