Protection against moisture and foreign particles
Dirt particles, moisture and other foreign matter have no place in electrical products. The IP degree of protection provides information on how well a product is protected in this respect.
Very often, electrical devices have to work reliably and safely for years under adverse conditions. For example in food processing, medical technology or similar industries. Dirt, bacteria, dust and moisture can rarely be kept away. So you have to start at a different point. It is important to prevent dirt or moisture from penetrating into the housing while at the same time providing the best possible protection for persons operating the equipment.
