What is IP/NEMA Rugged technology?
 
We provide various levels of mechanical IP dust & water proof design and offer ruggedized industrial flat panel LCD displays. These Ruggedized LCD products are also designed for high reliability, shock and vibration tolerance, survival of high temperature, and corrosive environments. External materials like dust/ water can be very destructive to any type of equipment over time.

NEMA Enclosure Rating and Comparison to IP Code


NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) sets the industry standards in the USA for electrical equipment enclosures. In non-hazardous locations, there are several different NEMA ratings for specific enclosure types, their applications, and the environmental conditions they are designed to protect against when completely and properly installed.

The following provides an overview of the NEMA types. For complete definitions, descriptions, and test criteria, see the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Standards Publication No. 250. The European Standards are determined by the Institute of Petroleum and are sometimes referred to as Ingress Protection (IP) numbers. The standards are listed below.

Table of NEMA Enclosure Rating and Comparison to IP Code

NEMA Enclosure Rating

Description

IP Classification Code

1

NEMA 1 - Enclosures constructed for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt.

IP20

2

NEMA 2 - Same as NEMA 1 including protection against dripping and light splashing of liquids.

IP21

3

NEMA 3 - Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, and windblown dust; and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.

IP54

3R

NEMA 3R - Same as NEMA 3 excluding protection against windblown dust

IP24

3S

NEMA 3S - Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, and windblown dust; and in which the external mechanism(s) remain operable when ice laden.

IP54

4, 4X

NEMA 4 - Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust, splashing water, and hose-directed water; and that will be undamaged by the external information of ice on the enclosure.
NEMA 4X - Same as NEMA 4 including protection against corrosion.

IP56,IP65,IP66

5

NEMA 5 - Enclosures constructed for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt; against settling airborne dust, lint, fibers, and to provide a degree of protection against dripping and light splashing of liquids.

IP52

6,6P

NEMA 6 - Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; toprovide a degree of protection against falling dirt; against hose-directed water and the entry of water during occasional temporary submersion at a limited depth; and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
NEMA 6P - Same as NEMA 6 including protection against the entry of water during prolonged submersion at a limited depth.

Ip67

12, 12K

NE1V1A 12 - Enclosures constructed (without knockouts) for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt; against circulating dust, lint, fibers, and against dripping and light splashing of liquids.
NEMA 12K - Same as NEMA 12 including enclosures constructed with knockouts

IP52

13

NEVA 13 - Enclosures constructed for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt; against circulating dust, lint, fibers, and against the spraying, splashing, and seepage of water, oil, and non-corrosive coolants.
