Technical Information
• NEMA ratings vs IP ratings
Whereas IP ratings only consider protection against ingress of foreign bodies (first digit) and ingress of water (second digit), NEMA ratings consider
these but also verify protection from external ice, corrosive materials, oil immersion, etc.
The correlation between NEMA & IP being limited only to dust and water, we can state that a NEMA type is equivalent to an IP rating but it is not
possible to say the contrary.
Below a list of some NEMA standards:
