what is IP1X IP2X IP3X IP4X Testing?

IP1X Testing:

IP1X testing evaluates the degree of protection against solid objects, specifically with a diameter larger than 50mm. To conduct this test, the following actions are taken:

1. Select the appropriate test equipment, including a test finger with a diameter of 50mm.
2. Position the test finger against the enclosure’s surface and exert a force of 10N.
3. Move the test finger across the entire accessible surface to ensure comprehensive testing.
4. Inspect the enclosure for any penetration or contact with hazardous parts.

IP2X Testing:

IP2X testing assesses the protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm in diameter. Here’s a detailed procedure for conducting this test:

1. Obtain the necessary test equipment, such as a 12.5mm diameter wire.
2. Introduce the wire probe into the enclosure, applying sufficient force to ensure complete insertion.
3. Move the wire probe within the enclosure, examining for any contact with live parts or other hazardous elements.
4. Conduct thorough visual inspection of the enclosure to detect any potential breaches.

IP3X Testing:

IP3X testing verifies the protection against solid objects larger than 2.5mm in diameter. To conduct IP3X testing, these steps are followed:

1. Prepare the test setup, which includes a 2.5mm diameter wire and test probe handle.
2. Introduce the test probe into the enclosure, ensuring complete insertion and contact with potential hazardous parts.
3. Rotate and move the test probe across all accessible areas within the enclosure.
4. Inspect the enclosure visually, checking for any penetration or contact with hazardous components.

IP4X Testing:

IP4X testing determines the degree of protection against solid objects larger than 1mm in diameter. Here’s the procedure to conduct IP4X testing effectively:

1. Assemble the necessary equipment, including a 1mm diameter wire probe and test probe handle.
2. Introduce the wire probe into the enclosure, exerting appropriate force to guarantee full insertion.
3. Move the probe throughout all accessible areas inside the enclosure, ensuring thorough coverage.
4. Conduct a visual examination of the enclosure to detect any breaches in protection.
