The document defines the various NEMA enclosure types, which provide different levels of protection from environmental conditions for electrical equipment. Type 1 enclosures provide basic indoor protection from solid objects. Type 3 enclosures provide outdoor protection from rain, sleet, snow and windblown dust. Type 4 enclosures provide indoor/outdoor protection from splashing water and hosedown. Hazardous location enclosures like Type 7 contain internal explosions without external hazard.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

7. NEMA Enclosure Types
Comparison Between NEMA Enclosure Type Numbers and IEC
Enclosure Classification Designations
IEC Publication 60529 Classification of Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures
provides a system for specifying the enclosures of electrical equipment on the basis of the
degree of protection provided by the enclosure. IEC 60529 does not specify degrees of
protection against mechanical damage of equipment, risk of explosions, or conditions
such as moisture (produced for example by condensation), corrosive vapors, fungus, or
vermin. The NEMA Standard for Enclosures for Electrical Equipment does test for
environmental conditions such as corrosion, rust, icing, oil, and coolants. For this reason,
and because the test and evaluations for other characteristics are not identical, the IEC
Enclosure Classification Designations cannot be exactly equated with the enclosure Type
numbers in this Standard.
The IEC designation consists of the letters IP followed by two numerals. The first
characteristic numeral indicates the degree of protection provided by the enclosure with
respect to persons and solid foreign objects entering the enclosure. The second
characteristic numeral indicates the degree of protection provided by the enclosure with
respect to the harmful ingress of water.
Table A-1 provides an equivalent conversion from the enclosure Type numbers in this
Standard to the IEC Enclosure Classification Designations. The enclosure type numbers
meet or exceed the test requirements for the associated IEC Classification; for this reason
Table A-1 cannot be used to convert from IEC Classifications to enclosure Type numbers.

Referencing the first character, 4, in the IP rating and the row designated “IP4_” in the leftmost column in the table; the blocks in Column “A” for NEMA Types 3,
3X, 3S, 3SX, 4, 4X, 5, 6, 6P, 12, 12K, and 13 are shaded. These NEMA ratings meet and exceed the IEC protection requirements against access to hazardous
parts and solid foreign objects.
Referencing the second character, 5, in the IP rating and the row designated “IP_5” in the rightmost column in the table; the blocks in Column “B” for NEMA
Types 3, 3X, 3S, 3SX, 4, 4X, 6, and 6P are shaded. These NEMA ratings meet and exceed the IEC requirements for protection against the ingress of water. The
absence of shading in Column “B” beneath the “NEMA Enclosure Type 5” indicates that Type 5 does not meet the IP 45 protection requirements against the
ingress of water. Likewise the absence of shading in Column “B” for NEMA Type 12, 12K and 13 enclosures indicates that these enclosures do not meet the IP
45 requirements for protection against the ingress of water. Only Types 3, 3X, 3S, 3SX, 4, 4X, 6, and 6P have both Column “A” in the “IP4_” row and Column “B”
in the “IP_5” row shaded and could be used in an IP45 application.
The NEMA Enclosure Type 3 not only meets the IP 45 Enclosure Rating, but also exceeds the IEC requirements because the NEMA Type
requires an outdoor corrosion test; a gasket aging test; a dust test; an external icing test; and no water penetration in the rain test. Slight
differences exist between the IEC and NEMA test methods, but the IEC rating permits the penetration of water if “it does not deposit on
insulation parts, or reach live parts.” The IEC rating does not require a corrosion test; gasket aging test; dust test or external icing test. Because
the NEMA ratings include additional test requirements, this table cannot be used to select IP Designations for NEMA rated enclosure
specifications.
IEC 60529 specifies that an enclosure shall only be designated with a stated degree of protection indicated by the first characteristic numeral if it also complies
with all lower degrees of protection. Furthermore IEC 60529 states that an enclosure shall only be designated with a degree of protection indicated by the second
characteristic numeral if it also complies with all lower degrees of protection up to and including the second characteristic numeral 6. An enclosure designated
with a second characteristic numeral 7 or 8 only is considered unsuitable for exposure to water jets (designated by second characteristic numeral 5 or 6) and
need not comply with requirements for numeral 5 or 6 unless it is dual coded. Since the IEC protection requirements become more stringent with increasing IP
character value up through 6, once a NEMA Type rating meets the requirements for an IP designation up through 6, it will also meet the requirements for all
lower IP designations. This is apparent from the shaded areas shown in the table.
