Less really can sometimes mean more

There’s a misconception when it comes to choosing an outdoor enclosure, that its IP rating is the most important factor in determining its suitability, and that any subsequent failure (in terms of protecting the equipment) is purely down to poor quality design/construction.
That may be the case, but actually, more often than not, it isn’t true. If you specify an enclosure for an outdoor application and it soon starts leaking, it may not be badly made – it may simply be because it’s not been designed for the outdoors.
