What are some of the excellent features of the insulating and the electrical rubber mats?

While working near the electrical equipment the operators get the ultimate safety from the electrical shock as the electrical insulating mats protect them from fatal injuries.

These mats are manufactured according to the IEC 61111: 2009 as a good standard set which is set by the International Electro-technical Commission.

The insulating mats range from 2mm to 4mm in thickness with an anti-skid textured surface on the top surface so that it avoids slippage.

These mats are usually moisture and water-resistant and allow long functional life. These high voltage insulating mats are resistant to chemicals like acids and alkalis. 

They are always fire resistant and are usually available along with the manufacturer’s test certificate.

The electrical insulation mats are also provided which have a fine ribbed design and generally comes along with 3mm to 5mm in thickness which is a little more than the insulation mats.

These mats are always customized depending upon the working voltage and other options including specific gravity, hardness and many more.

The voltage of the insulation mats do not usually exceed below 650 Volts and that is why they are usually preferred by most of the people from all across the world.

How rubber is useful in the insulating mats?

Rubber is one of the most durable, shock-absorbent and slip-resistant and that is why they are used in the insulating mats.

We find that the insulating mats are made with the help of the blending of the natural and the synthetic rubber which gives them high tensile strength and flexibility.

The rubber is free from any kinds of insertions or abrasions as the rubber mats are made from the special compound of the natural rubber.

The incorporation of the rubber also makes these mats have an operating temperature from 0 degree Celsius to 55 degree Celsius.

If someone places the electrical rubber mats anywhere near the electrical equipment anywhere near the HT or the LT control panels or switchboard matting, it will protect them from the fatal injuries and the currents.

Some of the features which prove that these mats are strong are as follows:

·         They are long-lasting.

·         They are usually qualitative.

·         The rubber incorporated in them gives them excellent flexibility and high durability.

·         These mats are usually available in a checkered and fluted design with a standard size of 1M X 2M.

What are some of the applications of the electrical rubber mats?

These rubber mats act as a protective gear for the electricians, engineers and the workers working in large industries.

These mats are highly economical and they are absolutely user-friendly.

These mats have very high mechanical properties and that is why they are also used for LPG loading and unloading purposes.

More applications of these rubber mats are:

·         These mats are used near HT or LT control panels.

·         These mats are used in front of the switchboards.

·         These mats are used near various electrical substations and around bus bars.

·         These mats are used in the transformers and generators.

·         These mats are utilized in the lift rooms.

The rubber insulating mattings which are designed according to the ASTM-D-178 standard are considered to be highly resistant to electricity.

They are usually non conductive in nature and are meant to protect the people from fatal injuries and deadly shocks which are caused by the high voltage equipment.

These mats have the thickness of 3.2mm to 12.7mm as it depends upon the smooth lower surface.

These mats also have anti-skid textured surface on the top so that it avoids slippage and they are relatively moisture proof which guarantees a long functional life.

They contain are also good resistors of flame and ozone and has the capacity to work under the extreme temperature.

Many people from all across the world look out for these mats as they provide maximum resistance to oil and other chemicals.
