introduction
This standard describes the rating system provided by the electrical equipment enclosure. Although this system is suitable for most types of electrical
Equipment, but not all types of protection are necessarily applied to specific types of electrical equipment. Manufacturers of equipment should be advised to determine the appropriate protection
Protect grades and apply equipment components of this grade.
The application of this grading system will make the narrative method and the corresponding level of test methods provided by the outer shell as uniform as possible. This
The wider range of products that will make the test equipment suitable will also reduce the number of test equipment required.
The second edition of IEC 60529 takes into account the experience of the first edition and clarifies the requirements. When actually preventing people from approaching dangerous parts
Above the level indicated by the first feature number, this standard provides optional extended ranges by appending the letters A, B, C, and D.
This revision only increases the protection level of the second characteristic number 9 and does not modify the degree of protection already specified in GB/T 4208-2008.
Therefore, the existing test methods are not modified.
In general, the shell labeled with an IP code in the previous version will fit the same level as this version.
Shell protection class (IP code)
1 Scope
This standard applies to rated voltage does not exceed 72.5kV, with the protection of electrical equipment protection class.
The purpose of this standard is as follows.
a) Enclosure protection rating for electrical equipment as follows.
1) Protection against human body touching dangerous parts inside the enclosure;
2) Protection against the entry of solid foreign matter into the equipment inside the enclosure;
3) Protection against harmful effects of water entering the enclosure.
b) Identification of the degree of protection.
c) Requirements for each level of protection marking.
d) Verification test of the shell according to the requirements of this standard.
The extent and manner of various types of products refer to the degree of protection of the enclosure, and what kind of enclosure is used, to be determined by product standards, and for specific protection
The tests used for the grades shall comply with the provisions of this standard, and additional requirements may be added to the relevant product standards when necessary. Can be in the relevant product standard
Refer to Appendix B for details of the specific provisions for quasi-in-China.
For special types of equipment, product standards can specify different requirements, but at least ensure the same level of safety.
This standard only considers enclosures that meet the requirements of relevant product standards in all aspects. Under normal conditions of use, the materials and processes of the enclosure should be
Ensure that the required degree of protection is achieved.
If a certain type of equipment meets the general requirements of the test and the selected degree of protection applies to the type of equipment, this standard also applies to this type of equipment.
Empty housing of type equipment.
Related to mechanical damage, rust, corrosive solvents (such as cutting fluids), molds, insect pests, solar radiation, icing, moisture (as caused by condensation), explosions
Explosive gas and other external influences or environmental conditions to prevent damage to the equipment in the enclosure and enclosure and to prevent external moving parts with the enclosure
The contact (eg fan) is regulated by the relevant product standard.
Partitions that are not connected to the enclosure and barriers that are specifically designed for personal safety are not considered as part of the enclosure and are not studied in this standard.
