The NEMA rating system is used in North American markets to rate the protective performance of electrical enclosures. Using a numerical scale, the NEMA system rates an enclosure’s level of protection against the ingress of harmful environmental factors like windblown dust, splashing water, corrosion and more. (See our guide to NEMA ratings to learn more.)
What Is a NEMA 4 Enclosure?
NEMA 4 is one of the most common enclosure ratings on the NEMA scale. This rating specifies several important qualities for an enclosure, including:
The waterproof and dustproof features make NEMA 4 enclosures suitable for outdoor use, and you’ll find them in use in all kinds of industrial, commercial and scientific applications. Note that it’s important to differentiate NEMA 4 enclosures from NEMA 4X enclosures. They’re similar in almost every respect, but NEMA 4X enclosures offer additional corrosion resistance.
