The Lighting Handbook
IK impact resistance level
The impact resistance level degree of
protection measure the resistance of
enclosures for electrical control gear against
mechanical stress.0
IK09 10.0
This provides information about the impact
energy, which enclosure can withstand
without breaking.70
IK06 1.20
IK03 0.50
IK05 0.0
IK08 5. One can expect the follow-
ing maximum loads practice:
–
up IK05: blows with the hand fist
–
IK06: blows with 500 hammer
from distance cm
–
IK07: blows with 500 hammer
from distance cm
–
IK08: blows with 1.35
IK04 0.0
IK10 20.0
IK07 2.15
IK02 0.7 hammer
from distance cm
–
IK09: blows with hammer
from distance cm
–
IK10: blow with baseball bat,
projectiles, kicks
