HVLS Applications: Is HVLS Right for Your Industry

What is Ingress Protection?

IP is the abbreviation for Ingress Protection. IP classification is used to measure how well a motor can withstand the ingress of dust and water. Following the letters, “IP” are two numerals, the first signifying the resistance to dust and the second to water.

Is IP55 Motor Waterproof?

It is not impervious, but it is protected from water projected by a nozzle against the enclosure from any direction.

Is IP55 Motor Protected from Solids?

Complete protection against contact with live or moving parts inside the enclosure. Protection against harmful deposits of dust. The ingress of dust is not totally prevented but cannot enter in an amount sufficient to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the machine.

Is IP55 Weather Protected?

It is not completely impermeable to weather conditions. Long periods of exposure to water, snow, or ice can allow time for liquids to seep through any gaps and cause damage to the motor. Short periods of exposure to liquids won’t cause damage even if the motor comes in contact with some liquids.
