One of the most widely used protection levels is IP55. In this article, we explain what an IP55 rating is, how protection against dust and water is achieved, and which design features allow an IP55 enclosure to withstand outdoor and industrial environments.
The IP rating on enclosures is an international protection standard that indicates how well the cabinet is protected against two factors: the ingress of dust or solid particles, and the ingress of water. The IP55 marking includes two digits that determine the nature and intensity of the enclosure's protection against external influences.
The second “5” indicates that the body can withstand the effects of water jets coming from any direction. This means that an IP55 outdoor cabinet can operate safely during rain, splashes, or routine external washing, making it suitable for most outdoor telecom and electrical installations.
The IP55 marking includes two digits that determine the nature and intensity of the enclosure's protection against external influences. The first digit “5” means that the cabinet is protected against dust to a level that prevents particles from interfering with the operation of telecom, electrical, or industrial equipment.
