How to verify the IP rating of your outdoor electric motor

As an outdoor electric motor you’ll want to know if it can handle weather like rain dust and other harsh conditions. One indicator to consider is its IP rating. IP stands for "Ingress Protection. “ This class rates how the well the motor is protected against water and dust.

At HONGMA our mission is to design robust and reliable electric motors and learning about IP ratings can be an essential step for people interested in using our products outside. 

What Does IP Rating Stand for with Outdoor Electric Motors? 

The second number indicates how well the motor repels water. This number ranges from 0 to 9. If it is 8 the motor can be immersed in water for a while without getting damaged. For outdoor electric motors you need a rating of IP65 or greater. That makes it dust-tight and resistant to water splashes. If you run an outdoor motor with a lower IP rating it could malfunction more quickly costing you money and time. Hongji is offered with these same ratings for electric motors. They are built to a standard that will last and we even test them to exceed high standards. Before you purchase an outdoor motor make sure to check what IP rating the product has so that you know it will work well in your environment.

Respectable vendors such as HONGMA put the IP rating in the specifications. If you can’t locate the manual go to the company’s website. They usually have the kind of detailed information on their products. You can also ask customer service if you have questions.

If you’re looking to use an outdoor electric motor it’s essential to ensure that it can withstand weather conditions. One way to verify this is by checking the IP rating. IP stands for "Ingress Protection. ” This data point indicates how well the motor can fight things like water and dust. If you seek a guarantee as to whether your outdoor electric motor meets IP rating standards then begin by consulting the manual that comes with the motor or at the label on the electric motor. The triple phase asynchronous motor is typically expressed as “IP” followed by two numbers. The first number is for how well it protects against solid objects like dust and the second water. For instance an IP65 rating signals that the motor is fully dust-tight and can be splashed with water from virtually any direction. 

You can also ask the seller for more details.  

A seller who is worth their salt – like say HONGMA – should be able to give you the skinny on IP rating and how it impacts performance in the great outdoors.

Hearing about another individual's experiences will help you make the best decision on which outdoor electric motor is right for you.  

IP RATING wholesale customers frequently have issues with where they are using outdoor electric motors.  

A drawback is that some sellers do not make good publicity of the IP rating. In some cases the ratings can be misleading or not specific enough. As an example a motor could be filed with a higher IP rating but will not be the best fit for all outdoor environments. That may lead a buyer to believe they are purchasing a motor that is capable of withstanding rain and dust crossing their fingers the motor will not fail in bad weather. Another problem would be that not all motors that might look the same coming out of the box have the same ip ratings. This cane confuse the buyer who believes they are purchasing the identical quality product. 

Wholesale purchasers must also take into account the setting where a motor will be used. For example if the motor will be close to saltwater it may need a higher IP rating or specialized materials to protect against rust. Should it be in a very dusty spot the motor should be effectively dustproof. Wholesale customers should ask questions and do some homework before they buy. They should also compare product offerings to make sure they are receiving the care that best meets their needs. Companies such as HONGMA will even go out of their way in order to help wholesale buyers with detailed information and support which makes for an easier selection when it comes to motor use.
