If you’re running a splash-proof (IPX4) setup, you aren&rsquo;t just fighting water. You&rsquo;re fighting a nasty mix of moisture and extreme heat. Most of the cheap heaters you find off the shelf just use a bit of glue or some shrink wrap to hold things together. In a real industrial setting, that stuff just bakes. It cracks. It shrinks. And once that seal gives way? Water hits the live lead, and<strong>boom</strong>—you&rsquo;ve got a short circuit.</p>
