IK protection grades in electrical material enclosures
Today, we explain briefly the meaning of the IK index (Impact Protection code). It is a coding system about the degree of protection for electrical materials against external mechanical impacts.

Today we will see some interesting issues about the resistance welding, a thermoelectric process developed in the last decades of the Nineteenth Century, widely used in the manufacture of metal sheets and wires. Let’s see some data about this type of welding.
The ultrasonic metal welding is being used by industry worldwide more and more. It offers many applications such as in the production of appliances, automobile parts, control panels, lamps, air ducts, cooling pipes and customized wiring manufacturing, among many others. But, what is the ultrasonic welding exactly?
PVC is the abbreviation of “Polyvinyl Chloride”, a plastic obtained from those components. It is highly recommended in the manufacture of cables for its many advantages over other type of insulation.
IP initials, which usually appear in the technical data of electronic and electrical equipment, derived from the English words Ingress Protection. These acronyms refer to the degree of protection envisaged by the US standard ANSI/IEC 60529-2004 Degrees of Protection., which is recognized by most countries and is included in several standards, such as the European one.
