About Motor Ingredients Protection
The protection level is also called the IP level. The larger the number, the better the protection performance, and of course the higher the price. The IP (INGRESS PROTECTION) protection level system was drafted by IEC (INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION) to classify electrical appliances according to their dust and moisture resistance characteristics.
