IP Protection Degree

IP Protection Degree

Choosing the correct IP protection level means ensuring safety, reliability and operational continuity of the device.

Every application is exposed to different environmental conditions: dust, particles, foreign objects, drops or jets of water with varying intensity.

For this reason, it is essential to carefully assess the IP rating, a key parameter that defines the ability of an enclosure to withstand the ingress of solids and liquids and to maintain performance over time, even in the most critical environments.

Why is the IP rating important?

A precise evaluation of this parameter allows you to:

  • increase the safety of the system;
  • prevent infiltration and damage;
  • reduce malfunctions, downtime and maintenance costs;
  • choose products truly suitable for the intended operating environment.
