Benefits of IP Rated Enclosures

Designed to resist dust, moisture and dirt, SKKBO IP rated enclosures and electrical boxes meet IP30, IP40, IP55, IP65 ratings, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. More reasons you should like them are below:

Excellent Protection

The IP rating measures the protection of an electrical box against solid and water ingress to avoid damage to electrical components. The higher the number, the higher the level of protection.

Highly Versatile

IP rated enclosures are designed to protect electronic devices that are prone to dusty and humid environments and need strong protection. This allows for versatile applications in industrial automation, agriculture, marine, solar energy, etc.

Various Materials Available

SSKBO offers IP rated electrical boxes constructed of high quality materials such as stainless steel, cold rolled steel, PC, ABS, etc. , and in different styles and sizes, so that you can choose the right material according to the actual application.

Extended Service Life

By keeping out dust, water and debris, the IP-rated enclosure prevents short-circuiting of internal electrical components and reduces corrosion, helping the equipment last longer.

Security and Compliance

Choosing an IP rated box that meets the IEC standard ensures compliance with industry regulations and also enhances the product’s competitiveness in the market.

Standardized Protection Levels

The IP rating system provides a quick and easy way to compare enclosures with different levels of protection. Choose the right IP-rated enclosure to ensure the protection of your electrical components.

Why IP Ratings Matter in Enclosures and Electrical Boxes?

When using electrical boxes in challenging environments, such as dusty factories or outdoors in wet, rainy conditions, choose an enclosure with the wrong IP protection rating increase the risk of short circuits, component failure, or even permanent damage to sensitive electronic equipment.

Therefore, you need to determine the needs of the electrical components and equipment that the enclosure will protect. Once you have determined the requirements , get to know the IP ratings and compare them to find the right one for your needs.

The IP rating, also known as an ingress protection rating, defines the enclosure’s ability to protect against solid particles (e.g. dust) and liquids (e.g. water). It is the most widely recognised protection rating internationally under the International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC. This standard helps you choose an electrical box with the right level of protection.

If you are on a budget and need moderate protection, choose IP55 enclosure, which offers partial dust protection and resists low-pressure water jets. It’s suitable for light industrial and outdoor environments.

For harsh or wet environments, opt for IP65 enclosure. An IP65 rated electrical box has a first digit of 6 for complete dust protection and a second digit of 5 for protection against drips, leaks and low-pressure water jets from any direction.

FAQs of IP Rated Enclosure

How Do I Choose The Right IP Rated Electrical Enclosure?

Where you are going to use the enclosure and how you are going to use it will determine the IP rated electrical box you choose. Beyond that, there are laws and regulations and cost budgets to consider. For example, if you intend to use the enclosure outdoors and expect it to be resistant to water and dust, then IP65 would be the best choice. If your equipment has a higher risk of water exposure, or a lower risk of dust, you can adjust the IP rating accordingly.

A higher IP rating enclosure would be more appropriate if long-term operation is more important. This means lower routine maintenance costs. Furthermore, safety regulations vary from industry to industry; some may specify a minimum IP rating based on safety standards. Therefore, when choosing the right IP-rated enclosure, it is essential to strike a balance between application scenarios, environment, cost, and laws and regulations.

Is IP65 Better Than IP55?

Yes. Although both IP65 and IP55 offer the same level of waterproofing (protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction), IP65 provides better dustproofing. It is fully sealed against dust, especially suited to dusty environments, such as factories.

IP55 is only partially dustproof, but this does not affect the operation of the device, making it more suitable for indoor environments that may be dusty. Nonetheless, IP65 is more expensive than IP55, so the choice depends on your specific needs.

Are All Waterproof Electrical Boxes IP Rated?

Not necessarily. Some enclosures labeled as "waterproof" or "weatherproof" may not have passed the IEC IP rating test. An IP rating means that it has been tested to rigorous standards. And, some industries require the use of IP-rated enclosures. Therefore, it is best to look for a certified IP rated enclosure.

Do IP Rated Protect Against Chemicals?

No. The IP rating only measures protection against water and dust. Beyond that, things like corrosiveness, oil, etc., are also not included in the IP rating of protection. If you are looking for such an enclosure, you may need to choose a material or coating designed for chemical resistance.
