    The document discusses NEMA enclosure ratings and IP enclosure ratings for protecting electrical equipment from environmental factors like dust, water, and corrosion. NEMA ratings include Types 1-4X, 6, 6P, 12, and 13, which provide varying degrees of protection from indoor and outdoor conditions. IP enclosure ratings use two numbers (e.g. IP67) to indicate protection levels from solids/human contact and water/moisture. The first digit refers to protection against particles or human contact, while the second refers to water protection. Higher numbers indicate greater levels of protection.

    NEMA RATINGS, CODES & DEFINITIONS

    Type 1
    Intended for indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against (hand) contact
    with enclosed equipment. Usually, a low cost enclosure but suitable for clean and dry
    environments.

    Type 2
    Intended for indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against limited
    amounts of falling dirt and water.

    Type 3
    Intended for outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against windblown
    dust, rain, and sleet; undamaged by ice which forms on the enclosure.

    Type 3R
    Intended for outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against falling rain
    and sleet; undamaged by ice which forms on the enclosure.

    Type 4
    Intended for indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against windblown dust
    and rain, splashing water, and hose directed water; undamage by ice which forms on the
    enclosure.

    Type 4X
    Intended for indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against
    corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose directed water; undamaged
    by ice which forms on the enclosure.

    Type 6
    Intended for indoor or outdoors which occasional temporary submersion is encountered.

    Type 6P
    Intended for indoor or outdoors which occasional prolonged submersion is encountered.
    Corrosion protection.
    Type 12
    Intended for indoor use to provide a degree of protection against dust, falling dirt, and
    dripping noncorrosive liquids.

    Type 13
    Intended for indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection dust, spraying of water,
    oil, and noncorrosive coolant.
    Project Fabrication & Technology hopes this info was helpful for your use.

    IP ENCLOSURE RATINGS
    The protection of enclosures against ingress of dirt or against the ingress of water is defined in IEC529
    (BSEN60529:1991). Conversely, an enclosure which protects equipment against ingress of particles will also
    protect a person from potential hazards within that enclosure, and this degree of protection is also defined as
    a standard.
    The degrees of protection are most commonly expressed as "IP" followed by two numbers, e.g. IP67, where
    the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit shows the extent to which the equipment is
    protected against particles, or to which persons are protected from enclosed hazards. The second digit
    indicates the extent of protection against water. The exact definitions are similar to the wording in the list.
    Again, note the first digit in the rating is the protection against contact and foreign bodies. The second digit in
    the rating is the water protection factor.
