Standard Test for Degrees of Protection Provided by IEC 60034-5 Integrated Design of Rotating Electrical Machines (IP code)

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of IEC 60034-5 standard. IEC 60034-5 applies to the classification of degrees of protection provided by enclosures for rotating electrical machines.

Standard Test for Degrees of Protection Provided by IEC 60034-5 Integrated Design of Rotating Electrical Machines (IP code)

It defines requirements for protective enclosures that are in all other respects suitable for their intended use and which, in terms of materials and workmanship, ensure that the characteristics discussed in this document are maintained under normal conditions of use. This standard does not specify the degree of protection of the machine against mechanical damage or conditions such as moisture (generated by condensation, for example), abrasive dust and steam, fungi or vermin.

This standard also applies to explosion-proof machines, but does not specify the types of protection for use in a potentially explosive (dust, gas) environment. These are defined in the IEC 60079 series of standards.

This standard gives definitions for the standard degrees of protection provided by enclosures applicable to rotating electrical machinery with respect to:

  • Protection of persons against contact with or approaching live parts and contact with moving parts inside the enclosure (except for straight rotating shafts and the like) and protection of the machine against the ingress of solid foreign bodies;
  • Protection of machinery against harmful effects caused by ingress of water;
  • Protection of machinery against harmful effects caused by dust ingress.
