    This document provides information on ingress protection codes (IP codes) and NEMA protection ratings. The IP codes use two numbers to indicate protection levels against solid objects (first number) and liquids (second number). Higher numbers indicate greater levels of protection. For example, an IP65 rating means the equipment is protected against dust and water jets. The NEMA ratings also correspond to IP protection classifications and describe the intended indoor or outdoor use and level of protection against things like water, dust, and ice.
