Can prevent the tools which are more than 2.5mm in diameter or thickth and
metal ‘wire from entering into the shell.
Prevent the solide strange things which is more than 2.5mm into the shell.
Can prevent the tools which are more than 1mm in diameter or thickth and
metal wire from entering into the shell.
Prevent the solide strange things which is more than 1mm into the shell.
It can’t completely prevent dust from entering into the shell, but the dust
amount can’t effect the normal operation of electrical equipment.
No dust can enter.
Protection class
Tmplicatonl meaning
Non- special protection
Vertical water-dropping has no harmful effect.
When the electrical equipment inclines from any direction of normal
o
position to within 15 angbe of inclination, the vertical water- dropping
has no harmful effect.
Showering water within 60” angle of inclination can not make harmful
effect.
Bear the spattering water from any direction and make no harmful
effect.
Bear the spurting water from any direction and make no harmful effect.
Bear strong wave impact and strong spurting water, the water capacity
into electrical equipment can not make harmful effect.
When electrical equipments are soaked into the stipulated pressure
water and surpass the stipulated time, the water capacity into electrical
equipments make no harmful effect.
Electrical equipments are dived for along time in the stipulated
pressure, water should not be entered into the shell.
