Duratuf Insulating Mats

You can spot cork flooring in residential settings. It is one of the go-to choices of environmentally conscious homeowners. However, the question is whether it is suitable for factories. Factory floors include heavy foot traffic and adverse conditions. Besides, high-voltage areas require flooring with insulating properties. What would you choose? Insulating mats for electrical purposes or cork flooring? Comparison Between Insulating Mat and Cork Flooring Before moving further into the topic, let us understand the  Pros and Cons of Insulating Mat: Pros: Protective equipment: Insulating mats for electrical purposes are safety gear. Besides, they have non-conductive properties. This helps an insulating mat form a shield between the ground and a high-voltage source. As a result, an insulating mat can save you from short circuits, arc flashes, current leakage, and others. Anti-skid: Electrical safety mats may have a ribbed or dotted surface texture. Hence, this design increases the t...

  What if your electrical insulating mat starts conducting electricity?  Will it be able to ensure your electrical safety?  What makes an electrical insulating mat conductive? As a user, you should be aware of the factors that can make your electrical insulating mat conductive. Electrical insulating mats are insulators. They are made of rubber and have a negligible number of charge carriers. This prevents the free movement of electrons. Hence, they are used to protect people from dangerous power hazards like arc flashes, short circuits, and others.  Let us now check the Factors that make an electrical insulating rubber mat conductive: 1. Voltage withstanding level:  Insulating mats have different classes. Each class has different voltage-withstanding capacities. Mismatch of working voltages with the voltage rating of the insulating mats will damage them. As a result, they will start to conduct electricity.  Suppose, you are using an 11 kV mat for a working...
