Important information about product labeling!

Often, our products are labeled with the IP symbol, which is very important for determining their tightness. Let's find out what exactly this icon means and what an important role it plays.

IP stands for "Ingress Protection" or "Degree of Protection". This is an international classification system that determines the level of protection of the electrical equipment shell against the penetration of solid particles and water. According to the international standard IEC 60529, the IP code consists of two digits, each of which has its own meaning.

The first digit in the IP code indicates the level of protection against solid particles such as dust, sand, etc. It can have a value from 0 to 6, where 0 means no protection and 6 means full protection against dust. For example, IP5X means that the device is protected against dust, but not completely sealed.

The second digit in the IP code indicates the level of protection against moisture and water. It can also have a value from 0 to 8, where 0 means no protection and 8 means full protection against water. For example, IPX4 means that the device is protected from water splashes from any direction.

Let's take a look at some examples of IP codes that are often used to protect motors and fans:

• IP54: Dust protection at level 5 (full dust protection) and protection against water splashes.
• IP55: Dust protection level 5 and protection against water current when the device is energized.
• IP65: Full protection against dust and protection against water jets when the jet is directed at the device.
• IP68: Full protection against dust and protection against immersion in water to a depth of more than 1 meter for a certain time.

Remember to pay attention to the IP code when choosing products. It will help you to understand how effectively the product is protected against solid particles and moisture. At Blauberg motoren, we always put the reliability and quality of our products first, so you can rest assured that they are sealed and comply with IP protection standards.
