Today, SKYT will introduce the general protection level specifications for outdoor distribution boxes. The protection level of outdoor distribution boxes usually needs to be determined based on specific design requirements and operating environments. Generally, the protection level of outdoor distribution boxes should be at least IP54 or higher. Below are some possible protection level specifications:
IP54: This protection level indicates that the distribution box has a high level of protection against solid objects (such as dust) and can prevent water splashes from entering.
IP55: This protection level indicates that the outdoor distribution box has a higher level of protection against solid objects and water jets. It can prevent most dust from entering and withstand the impact of low-pressure water jets.
IP65: This protection level indicates that the outdoor distribution box has a high level of dust and water resistance. It can completely prevent dust ingress and withstand the impact of low-pressure water jets.
IP66: This protection level indicates that the outdoor distribution box has an extremely high level of dust and water resistance. It can completely prevent dust ingress and withstand the impact of high-pressure water jets.

It should be specially noted that the above are only some common protection levels, and the actual protection level in applications may be adjusted according to specific requirements. Therefore, SKYT recommends referring to relevant standards and regulations when designing and selecting outdoor distribution boxes to ensure that the chosen distribution box's protection level meets actual needs, and further confirming with suppliers or manufacturers.
