What Is Diesel Generator Protection Grade
by Starlight Generator dieselgeneratortechWhat is protection
grade?
Protection
grade also called ingress protection( IP), this system is written by IEC (
international electrotechnical commission), indicating the level of dust-proof
and moisture-proof of electrical equipment. Protection grade consists of two
number, the bigger the number is, the higher the level of protection.
Indicating
methods:
The
protection grade usually is indicated by IP and two number, the number
indicates the protection level.
The
first number indicates the range of dust resistance of the equipment, or the
extent to which people are protected from hazards in a sealed environment.
Represents a level to prevent solid foreign bodies from entering, the highest
level is 6.
The
second number indicates the degree of waterproofing of the equipment.
Represents the level of water intake prevention. The highest level is 8.
We
should choose the suitable generator according the working situation.
In
generally, the commons protection grade is IP21, IP23, IP44, IP54, IP55, IP56,
IP65. Different protection grade of generator is suitable for different working
situation. Most of them are used in dry and clean industrial and mining
enterprises. In addition to inflammable and explosive gases, dust, humidity and
other special environments, the actual use of "IP23" level of
protection is OK, there is no need to use a higher level of protection.
There
is internal and external ventilated heat window on end cap and seat of IP23
generator, this kind of generator is suitable used in clean, dry and ventilated
environment. But some customers chose this kind of generator without
considering the suitable conditions of the generator.
Especially
in the environment with conductive dust, it is quite unsafe to use this kind of
generator. Once the conductive dust enters the generator winding, it will
affect the ventilation and heat dissipation of the generator winding. At the
same time, it will easily lead to short-circuit electrical fault, which will
seriously affect the service life of the generator. Therefore, when choose
generator, it must match the actual operating conditions.
Starlight
diesel generator protection grade include IP22, IP23, IP45, IP65, open type
diesel generator is IP22 to IP23, soundproof diesel generator is IP45,
containerized diesel generator is IP65. For all these kinds of generators, you
all can choose according to your requirements.
If
you have purchase plan of diesel generator set recently, but do not know choose
which one, welcome to inquiry us by sales@dieselgeneratortech.com, we will work
with you at any time.
