The Difference Between IP66 And Explosion-proof Rating Of Distribution Box

Although the IP66 protection level of the distribution box provides high dust and water protection, it does not mean that it has explosion-proof function. Explosion proof rating is a completely different concept, mainly used to evaluate the safety of equipment used in flammable and explosive environments.

Explosion proof rating is usually composed of a series of letters and numbers, which represent the explosion-proof capability and type of equipment under specific environmental conditions. If a distribution box needs to have explosion-proof function, it must undergo special explosion-proof design and testing, and obtain corresponding explosion-proof level certification.
Therefore, when choosing a distribution box, in addition to considering its IP protection level, it is also necessary to determine whether explosion-proof function is required based on the actual application environment and select equipment with the corresponding explosion-proof level.
