IP Classifications for Switch Enclosures

The document discusses IP classifications for enclosures. IP classifications use a two-digit coding system to indicate levels of protection against solids and liquids. The first digit ranges from 0-6 and indicates protection against solid objects, with higher numbers indicating protection against larger objects. The second digit also ranges from 0-8 and indicates protection against water and liquids, with higher numbers signifying protection against more powerful water jets or immersion.

IP Classifications
Ingress protection class of enclosures is given in form of IP classification, a two digit coding which is shown below. Kraus & Naimer has tested the
enclosures according to IEC 529 or EN 60529. The latter requires the second digit to be tested from class 6 upwards separately to each level of
class, thus the double marking IP 66 / IP 67 indicates that the actual tests have been made for both levels.
