Why are IP54 enclosures used as traffic control cabinets?

IP54 enclosures are commonly used as traffic control cabinets among other applications because of its superior ability to protect the electrical equipment from splashing water or rain conditions from any directions as well as protection from tampering from any solid object aside from a non-harmful deposit of dust.

Why is IP54 a good rating?

It will give a good level of protection from airborne dust and splashing rain. IP54 allows some ingress of water, subjectively defined as 'limited'. This rating is more appropriate for equipment likely to be sensitive to water, or where rain is likely to be often strongly wind-blown at a variety of angles.

Should I use IP54 or IP65+ water protection equipment?

Periodic water spray is expected but not at high pressure. You want higher protection than IP54 without the cost or weight of full IP65+. Direct exposure to pressurized water or outdoor storms is expected. Equipment is installed in marine, underground, or industrial washdown zones.
