Description of waterproof level of waterproof power supply

2021-04-06

The waterproof led strip driver are classified according to their dust-proof and moisture-proof characteristics. The foreign objects mentioned here include tools, human fingers, etc., should not touch the live parts of the LED waterproof power supply to avoid electric shock.

The IP protection level is composed of two numbers. The first number indicates the degree of protection against dust and foreign objects. The second number indicates the tightness of the waterproof class 2 power supply against moisture and water intrusion. The larger the number, the protection The higher the level, the protection level indicated by the two marked numbers is as noted in the following Table 1 and Table 2.

Table 1: The degree of protection indicated by the first marked feature number (0-6)
The definition of the first number to indicate the protection level
0 No protection No special protection for people or things outside
1 Prevent the intrusion of solid objects larger than 50mm. Prevent the human body (such as the palm) from accidentally touching
To the parts inside the luminaire. Prevent foreign objects of larger size (diameter greater than 50mm) from intruding.
2 Prevent the intrusion of solid objects larger than 12mm. Prevent people's fingers from touching the internal parts of the lamp to prevent the intrusion of foreign objects of medium size (12mm in diameter).
3 Prevent the intrusion of solid objects larger than 2.5mm. Prevent tools, wires or similar details with a diameter or thickness larger than 2.5mm from intruding and contacting the internal parts of the lamp.
4 Prevent the intrusion of solid objects larger than 1.0mm. Prevent tools, wires or similar details with a diameter or thickness larger than 1.0mm from intruding and contacting the internal parts of the lamp.
5 Dust-proof It can completely prevent the intrusion of foreign objects. Although it cannot completely prevent the ingress of dust, the amount of dust invaded will not affect the normal operation of the lamp.
6 Dustproof Completely prevent the intrusion of foreign objects, and completely prevent the entry of dust.

Table 2: The degree of protection indicated by the second marked feature number (0-8)
The second marking number Protection level definition
0 No protection
1 Prevent the intrusion of dripping Water dripping vertically (such as condensed water) will not cause harmful effects on the waterproof led strip driver
2 It can prevent dripping water when it is tilted 15 degrees. When the lamp is tilted from vertical to 15 degrees, dripping water will not cause harmful effects on the waterproof class 2 power supply.
3 Prevent the intrusion of sprayed water. Prevent rain, or prevent the water sprayed in the direction with an angle of less than 60 degrees from the vertical from entering the LED waterproof power supply and causing damage.
4 Prevent splashing water intrusion Prevent water splashing from all directions from entering the waterproof class 2 power supply and causing damage.
5 Prevent the intrusion of sprayed water Prevent the water from the nozzle from all directions from entering the waterproof class 2 power supply and causing damage.
6 Prevent the intrusion of large waves The LED waterproof power supply installed on the deck prevents damage caused by the invasion of large waves.
7 Prevent water intrusion when immersed in water The LED waterproof power supply is immersed in water for a certain time or the water pressure is below a certain standard to ensure that no damage is caused by water ingress.
8 Prevent water intrusion during sinking The LED waterproof power supply sinks indefinitely under the specified water pressure, which can ensure that it will not be damaged due to water ingress.
