IPnn Ingress Protection. A rating given to electrical enclosures that
defines the level of protection provided against the intrusion of
solid objects, dust, and water. The first 'n' is a number between
1 and 7 that identifies the level of protection against solid
objects (dust, tools, etc.). The second 'n' is a number between 1
and 9 that identifies the level of protection against moisture.
The higher the rating, the greater the level of protection.
