IP rating refers to ingress protection rating. The first digit refers to the level of solids protection. 1=> 50mm 2= >12mm 3 =>2.5mm 4= >1mm 5 = Dust protected 6= Dust tight Second digit refers to level of water protection 1= dripping water 2= angled dripping water, ie wind blown 3 sprayed water 4= splashed water 5=water jets 6=heavy seas 7=immersion 8 =indefinite immersion Thus IP 54 is dust protected & splash protected, which is Ok for most electric motors, but may go to IP55
