Fans completely wraps the entire motor with a patented motor-protection technique

Available now from Digi-Key, Sunon offers a wide range of AC and DC axial fans and blowers that are IP55, IP56, and IP68 rated. Ingress protection (IP) is a standard protection rating on electrical enclosures that are considered waterproof or dustproof. The IP rated fans and blowers offer built-in protection against dust, water, and foreign objects that can severely damage the motor of a fan or blower. They undergo rigorous testing against harsh environments such as water jets, rain, flood, salt fog, moisture, severe dust, and dirt exposure. The difference between IP rated fans and blowers versus non-IP rated fans and blowers is in the potting process and the type of materials used for the coating of the electrical mechanics of the fan or blower. Understanding IP ratings can provide the user a detailed understanding of what it means when a fan or blower is waterproof or water-resistant. Each numerical digit represents conformity with the conditions of solid particles or liquids. For example, when a fan or blower is IP68 rated, it is completely protected against dust and cannot be damaged during permanent immersion in water. The fans and blowers are highly beneficial for applications such as LED and lighting, refrigeration, heating and cooling, IT and telecom, appliances, automotive, outdoor security surveillance, and solar inverters.
