There are several factors to consider when assessing the weather resistance of electronic devices. An important factor is the IP rating (Ingress Protection rating). This rating depends on the design and installation environment of the device. The IP rating indicates the extent to which the charging station is protected against the ingress of solids and liquids.

A charging station with an IP54 rating may be suitable for a sheltered outdoor location, while a charging station with an IP67 rating is more suitable for areas with a high risk of flooding.

– IP54: These charging stations are protected against dust and splash water from any direction. This is a common IP rating for charging stations that are installed outdoors.

– IP55: These charging stations are protected against dust and water jets from any direction. This is a common IP rating for charging stations that are installed outdoors and may be exposed to rain.

– IP66: These charging stations are completely dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets from any direction. This is a common IP rating for charging stations installed in humid environments, such as parking garages.

– IP67: These charging stations are completely dust-tight and protected against immersion in water up to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. This is a common IP rating for charging stations installed in areas where flooding may occur.

It is essential to know the IP rating of a charging station to ensure that it is suitable for the intended installation environment.
