  • Now consider an IP rated enclosure, is it better sealed or with a drain hole in the bottom of it?



    Depends on the IP rating you're trying to achieve. If you need to protect from jets of water from any direction (including vertically upwards) then perhaps a hole in the base isn't the best approach...
