IP 68 protected fans from ebm-papst

Ingress Protection (IP) is a standard protection rating on electrical enclosures that are considered waterproof or dust proof. The importance of an IP68 rating on ebm-papst products is to ensure the highest level of protection of the electronics inside the enclosure against foreign objects and water, while also protecting the user against potentially harmful contact.
