The codes are presented the following format:
IP identifier (1) digits (2) letter (3)
Identifier (1):
Symbol for the protection people against touching dangerous parts
and protection the equipment against the intrusion foreign bodies
and water.
If fault occurs the basic insulation,
the body (e. The so-called codes were
specified define the degree which piece equipment pro-
tected.
III Protection against dangerous shock
currents ensured via the safety extra-
low voltage safety measure (alternating
current ≤50V, direct current ≤120V,
safety voltage source).
C people who insert tool with diameter 2. There are three protection classes,
whose meanings are described the following table.
