We have introduced the protection level of the motor before, and many users will ask how to choose the protection level of the motor . Is the higher the protection level, the better? 

The higher the protection level of the motor is not, the better. The higher the protection level, the more unfavorable it is for the heat dissipation of the motor. The higher the cooling device requirements, the more expensive the price . Therefore, the selection of the protection level should be determined according to the actual use environment. As the driving force equipment, the electric motor is a very important link.

 The factory that pays attention to the use and maintenance will provide a relatively clean environment for use, so that IP23 can be satisfied and the life of the motor can be extended. However, if it is used in the open air, it is necessary to consider preventing the entry of mosquitoes and dust, and preventing rain, snow and water from splashing, and IP54 is often selected. For submersible motors used underwater, the protection level must reach IP68. So how do you check the protection level of your motor? From the motor label, we can see that there is a column of IP: XX, the number behind IP is the protection level of this motor!
