What is IP level protection?
How IP levels are defined
The protection level is usually expressed by IP followed by two numbers. The numbers are used to clarify the level of protection.
The first digit indicates the device’s resistance to fine dust, or the extent to which people are protected from hazards in a sealed environment. Represents the level of preventing the entry of solid foreign objects, the highest level is 6;
The second digit indicates how waterproof the device is. Represents the level of water intrusion prevention, the highest level is 8.
