Classification and definition of generator protection level (first digit)

6.31

Classification and definition of generator protection level (the second digit)

6.32

The commonly used protection grades of motors are IP21, IP23, IP44, IP54, IP55, IP56, and IP65.

(For land use) The general factory standard of generator protection level is IP21, if IP23 is required, it can be mentioned when ordering.

IP21 generator, generally for land use

IP23 generator, generally available for marine use
