What are IP66 and ip67 rating?
IP66 rating provides protection from total dust ingress as well as protection from high pressure water jets from any direction. IP67 rating provides protection from total dust ingress and immersion between 15cm and 1 meter in depth.
Note
The 16A industrial sockets have an additional safety device like the protection installed on household sockets, i.e. by means of an appropriate shutter, it closes the input of the socket contact tubes and prevents accidental and voluntary contact of live parts of the socket with slim objects, such as screwdrivers or wires.
