IP Testing As Per IEC 60529
ITC can do Electrical Safety testing against IP Testing for following types of products/standards:
We have developed a special testing facility against Solid particle protection & Liquid ingress protection generally called as the IP testing. We have below test facility at present in our;
- IP 1X, IP 2X, IP 3X, IP 4X for protection of machine against Penetration by solid foreign objects.
- IP 5X for Dust Protection.
- IP 6X for Dust Protection.
- IP X3, IP X4, IP X5, IP X6, IP X7 & IP X8 for protection against ingress of water.
OVERVIEW OF COMMONLY SOUGHT IP CODES | |||
1X | protection against objects >50mm | X1 | protection against vertically Dripping water |
2X | protection against objects >12.5mm | X2 | dripping water at +-15° from vertical |
3X | protection against objects >2.5mm | X3 | protection against spraying water |
4X | protection against objects >1mm | X4 | protection aginst splashing water |
5X | Dust Protected ( limited ingress) | X5 | protection aginst low pressure jetting water |
6X | Dust tight protection | X6 | protection against high pressure jetting water |
IP(Ingress Protection) Testing
Ingress protection (IP) testing at ITC India NABL accredited Electrical Safety Testing laboratory can determine a products susceptibility to solid particle (including dust) ingress and liquid ingress (water).
Protection of the tests specified in : the following standard :-
- IEC 60529
- BS EN 60529
The standard we most commonly use at ITC for ingress protection is BS EN 60529 and IEC 60529. Within this standard it outlines an international classification system to test the sealing effectiveness of enclosures of electrical equipment against the the equipment of solid particles and liquid.
This classification system utilize the “IP” (“Ingress Protection”) normally followed by two digits:
- Ingress Protection of (IP) Ratings (Solid ingress)
- Ingress Protection (IP) Ratings (Liquid ingress)
Purpose:
The testing will access the protection of the equipment against ingress of solid bodies and/or liquids, varying over differing degrees of protection, depending upon the requirements you place on your product.
Protection against solid/dust entry:
The test specified in the first digit of the Protection Index (IP1X, IP2X, IP3X, IP4X, IP5X, IP6X), meaning protection against solid particles and dust entry into the fixture according to the BS EN 60598-1 IEC 60598 – 1, IEC 60529.
1. IP1X
Protection against solid object greater than 50mm diameter
Specification: The test for IP1X enclosures involves pressing a 50 mm diameter sphere with a force of 50 N against the opening of the enclosure. The product is approved if the sphere does not fully enter the enclosure and if there is a satisfactory distance from dangerous live parts and moving parts.
2. IP2X
Protection against solid objects diameter exceeding than 12.5 mm
Specification: IP 2X testing involves pressing a standardized 12 mm diameter test finger with a force of a 10 N, with a 12,5 mm sphere with a force of 30 N, against all openings of the enclosure. For acceptance, the sphere rod not fully enter the enclosure and there must be a satisfactory distance between the test finger and dangerous live parts and moving parts
3. IP3X
Protected against solid objects exceeding than 2.5 mm diameter
Specification: IP 3X testing involves pressing a standardized test probe, in the form of a 2,5 mm steel wire with a against all openings of the enclosure, with the force of 3 N. For acceptance the probe must not get in the enclosure.
4. IP4X
Protected against solid objects exceeding than 1.0 mm diameter
Specification: IP 4X testing involves pressing a standardized test probe in the form of 1 mm steel wire against the all openings of the enclosure with a force of a 1N. For acceptance the probe must not enter in the enclosure
5. IP5X
Dust Protected
Specification: Ingress of dust is not Totally prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact (dust proof). This test is conducted using circulated dust which may be enter in the product but should not significantly de-grade the operation of the equipment.
6. IP5X
Dust tight (with a vacuum applied to the product
Specification: Items to be tested for IP 6 X enclosures are exposed to fine-grained circulating talcum powder in a dust chamber for 8 hours with the exposure time being determined by the testing conditions for the specific item. This testing is performed with a maximum pressure of 20 mbar inside the item under test, and with a maximum abstraction rate of 60 volumes/hour.
Protection Index Against Water entry:
This test specify the second digit of the Protection Index ( IPXI, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6, IPX7, IPX8), meaning protection against water entry into the fixture according to the) BS EN 60598-1 IEC 60598 – 1, IEC 60529.
1. IPX1
Protected against dripping water
Specification: The enclosure is exposed to dripping water with a flow rate of 1 mm per min for 10 minutes. Acceptance for Class IP X1 requires no water to have penetrated into the item in such a quantity, or in such a position as to prevent satisfied operation of the item or to present a safety risk
2. IPX2
