IP30 in the distribution box means that the equipment can prevent the intrusion of small solid objects and is not waterproof. The IP65 distribution box can completely prevent the entry of dust and can prevent water spray from any direction.
The IP65 rated distribution box can provide better protection. It can prevent solid substances larger than millimeters from entering the inside of the electrical cabinet and can provide complete liquid protection. Therefore, IP65 rated electrical cabinets are suitable for some humid environments and can be used in environments with a water depth of more than 1 meter.
IP3 rated electrical cabinets can provide better protection, which can prevent solid substances larger than 2.5 mm from entering the interior of the electrical cabinet. However, it still doesn't offer any protection against liquids. Therefore, IP30 rated electrical cabinets are only suitable for dry environments and cannot be used in humid or liquid environments.
IP66 means that the product completely prevents the intrusion of foreign objects and can completely prevent dust from entering. When it withstands violent waves or strong water sprays, the amount of water entering the electrical appliance should not reach harmful effects. IP represents the protection level of electronic products, the full name is Ingressprotection, IP protection level is set by IEC. The larger the two marked numbers are, the higher the protection level of the device is.
The protection level used in industrial applications is generally: IP65, the highest level is IP68, but the protection level IP54 is a lower level. IP is the marking letter, the number 5 is the first marking number, and 4 is the second marking number - The marked number indicates the level of contact protection and foreign object protection, and the second marked number indicates the level of waterproof protection.
When choosing an electrical cabinet, IP rating is a very important consideration. Choosing the appropriate IP grade electrical cabinet according to actual needs can ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment.
