What is IP Rating? (Ingress Protection Rating)

[@jiangta1728]

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

It should be noted that the water protection rating is not cumulative. While an IPX8 device will withstand freshwater submersion it may not survive high pressure jets.

[@melquiadesdelgadoramirez680]

The IP rating has an equivalent NEMA rating. For instance, IP 14 is equivalent to NEMA 3R, IP 66 to NEMA 4X, and IP 67 to NEMA 6P. This is particularly important in electrical & instrumentation engineering design when selecting enclosures to protect equipment sensitives to dust and water.

[@realpars]

Very good information! The NEMA ratings for enclosures are very important for manufacturers in the US, whereas the IP system (IEC) is most important in Europe. Understanding the equivalencies is vital since devices, instruments, enclosures, etc., can be sold to users around the world from any location.

Next series Hazardous Location. Ex equipments. By the way, why are some devices marked ip66/67 instead of ip67 only?

[@realpars]

Excellent question! It turns out that the IEC 60529 standard (article 6) considers an enclosure designated with second characteristic numeral of 7 or 8 is unsuitable for exposure to water jets (designated by a second characteristic numeral of 5 or 6) unless it is dual-coded (ex: IP66/IP67). So the dual code IP66/IP67 indicates the device can be hosed down and temporarily submerged.

Dear sir, if there is a panel with IPXX, and there are equipment such as small panels or electrical devices inside it, can we consider all these equipments satisfy or meet the requirements of IPXX since they are inside in IPXX ?

[@realpars]

The IP rating applies to the enclosure that is exposed to the environment around it. If I put an IP22 device inside of a panel that is rated IP67, then the contents of the panel are protected against the elements (dust-tight and water-tight) according to the IP67 characteristics. It does not change the rating of the devices inside the panel.

In this day's I hear about (robot process automation) I searched in internet but I not achieve any specifications on RPA Because of that I now realpars is best in field of specification I extermly please realpars to make a introduction video about RPA with all my respect

[@realpars]

Definitions are important. There is a fairly mature branch of automation that deals with mechanical robots that perform functions ranging from welding to transportation of parts around the factory floor. There is another term, RPA, Robotic process automation, that refers to the use of specialized computer programs to automate repeatable business processes. An example would be automated, guided point of sale ordering at a fast food restaurant. In this case, "process" refers to a business process, not a manufacturing process. However, they are closely related and we will consider how RealPars might integrate training on RPA into our course offering.

[@KrisDutkiewicz-e8r]

So is there a general agreement to which is the minimum IP rating to put a product outdoors?

[@realpars]

Hi there, Thank you for your question. The rating system we refer to has been developed by an international governing body responsible for creating the EN60529 standard, which serves as a benchmark for manufacturing companies worldwide seeking to adhere to international electrical device standards. Each rating is intricately tied to the design of a device. To ensure the safety of human life and the durability of the device in both wet and dry environments, as well as considering factors like heat and other environmental variables, it is imperative that design engineers possess a deep understanding of these standards. The consensus within the industry is that design engineers must rigorously adhere to these standards when creating their designs. To aid in your learning on this topic, we'd like to provide you with two helpful links: IEC IP Ratings www.iec.ch/ip-ratings IEC Standard 60529 Information keystonecompliance.com/iec-60529/#:~:text=IEC%20Standard%2060529%20provides%20guidelines,hands%2C%20fingers%2C%20and%20probes We wish you an enjoyable and informative learning journey with RealPars!

Some rugged phones are advertised as IP69K, so what's the 9 mean if the liquid protection only goes up to 8, and what's the K after it?

[@realpars]

Thank you for your question! IP69K means a product is completely dustproof and can withstand washdown at pressures of 80 to 100 bar/1,160 to 1,450 PSI, in phases of 14 to 16 l/min, and at temperatures up to 176°F/80°C. Here is the link that might of interest as well www.armagard.com/ip69k-pc-and-monitor-enclosures/what-is-ip69k.html#:~:text=IP69K%20means%20a%20product%20is,%C2%B0F%2F80%C2%B0C Happy learning!

[@artificialsoul4248]

So if an object has a IP-68 does it mean it covers protection of against solid and water, meaning the 8 does everything the ones below it too?

[@realpars]

Yes, that is correct. IP68 gives all of the protection of IP67 plus additional protection against immersion in water (deeper, longer time).

[@seeigecannon]

This was a good video. Going off of this, could you consider doing a video on NEMA Enclosure types? Those have always been pretty tough for me. Thanks.

[@oevl9114]

Good explanation about ip ratings!! But what about temperature as an eviromental condition? Is there any other type or rating?

[@realpars]

Temperature is a separate environmental consideration that usually has an effect on circuit boards and the performance of materials, like gaskets and o-rings. Most circuit boards start to decompose (solder tracks begin to melt) around 65-80C. Many elastomers are not effective at very low temperatures. There are T-Class (temperature class) ratings for systems in hazardous location installations that exist for purposes of mitigation explosion hazard, not material ingress.

[@DJ1431]

You are genius ❤

[@jiangta1728]

how can the device is protected against the temperature in terms of high and bellow zero?

[@realpars]

Temperature protection is a whole different area of design. There are many ways a sensor can be protected against temperature, but they all have 9ne thing in common: insulation. Some sensors need special designs (such as proximity switches) and some are inherently temperature protected (RTDs, thermocouples, etc.).

[@AndersonChan]

What about watches that are rated 5 ATM?

[@realpars]

Typically IP68.

[@paulm5935]

This reminds me of the Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) rating/certification of "old'. Does this in any way tye-in? Supersede/replace? Is UL even in business anymore? I'd be curious how this compapres. What are your thoghts?

[@realpars]

Panel ratings that are parallel to what the IP ratings indicate are ratings designated by NEMA. UL, still in business and more important than ever, deals with electrical and mechanical requirements for panels, etc. UL approves panel fabricators as being compliant with UL arc flash and other requirements.

[@MetalFreaken007]

RealPars really good video thank you, but i'm still not understanding, so if i have a ebike that's rated IP2 Waterproof rating, does that mean i can drive it in rain up to 3mm ? the whole 15 angle thing, i dont understand, im just very concerned with my e bikes battery being ruined, if i drive it in the rain, can you explain it to me? really hope you answer me. i can't find any good information about this, thank you so much.

[@realpars]

The 15-degree angle requirement ensures that the device can handle water droplets at an angle of something other than "coming straight down" on the device (driving rain). For the protection of electronic devices, I would suggest IPx6. I consider IPx2 to be water-resistant, with IPx5 or greater as providing better "waterproof" protection. You probably will be ok, since the manufacturer is staking its reputation on you not having issues with their products.

Could a device be IP18? 🤔 my guess is not, how something could be water tight but not solids

[@crazye7132]

I guess you could cover it with some watertight foil that can't stand single points of pressure.

[@realpars]

There are IP18-rated devices, but most are electrical accessories, like dust caps for electrical connections. Some models have an inner sleeve that makes the inner connection watertight but the outer casing has vent holes that could let in dust.

[@rajagopal-vt1oc]

Is there IP08?

Theoretically, yes. Practically, no. If there is no need for dust protection, then you would specify IPX8, indicating no special dust protection requirement.

Not really. IP55 provides protection against rain and water jets from hoses. but it is not protected against submersion in water for any length of time.

[@nullpointer66]

is it possible for an IP rating of 08

[@nelsonrobert2399]

No? If your hand can get in, so can water

[@realpars]

it is possible, but not likely that a rating of '0' for solids is going to protect against immersion. It is very possible that the manufacturer does not want to spend the money to test for dust ingress, in which case, a solids rating of '0' applies.

[@westinthewest]

Just for accuracy, the IP stands for International Protection. It's published by the International Electrotechnical Commission as IEC 60529.

[@riteshgarg]

I guess IP rating goes up to IP69. The example mentioned for IP68 is actually IP69

[@realpars]

You are correct. However, IP69 is a new designation that is just now being added to many of the IP ratings charts that have been published. The example in the video, IP68, is described correctly. IP69 provides protection against high-pressure / high-temperature water jets. IPX9 ratings were not part of the original IEC 60529 standard, but were added later as a part of DIN 40050-9.
