IP Explanation

The document outlines standards for classifying the ingress protection (IP) rating of electrical enclosures. The IP rating consists of two figures, with the first indicating protection against solid objects and the second indicating protection against liquids. Higher IP ratings indicate increased levels of protection, from no protection to complete protection against dust or powerful water jets.
