Why Custom Electrical Insulating Rubber Mats are a Hit in the Saudi Market?

Image
  What do users do when they require an additional feature for their electrical insulating mats ? What about some extra meters of length or width? What about thicknesses other than the available ones in the data sheets? What happens when users ask for different labels or markings? What do they do when their requirements do not meet the ones mentioned on the website or papers? They go for customization! Customization of electrical insulating mats fulfills the specialized requirements of the users. Proper customization gives you brownie points as it enriches customer experience. In this blog, we will be discussing the following topics: Introduction to Electrical Insulating Rubber Mats How Does the Electrical Safety Product Market Look Like in Saudi Arabia ? 8 Reasons Why Industries in Saudi Arabia are Going for Custom Electrical Insulating Mats Summary Introduction to Electrical Insulating Rubber Mats Electrical insulating rubber mats are a non-negotiable when your industry has high...

Are Electrical Insulating Mats Safe to Use in Damp Environments?

Image
Water is the worst enemy of electrical insulating mats . Insulating mats are known for their purpose of ensuring electrical safety during a power hazard. Meanwhile, water, being a good conductor of electricity, acts as a catalyst during an electrical hazard. Hence, do they serve the same purpose? No. Then what about electrical safety in damp environments? Do the mats still remain effective? Can You Have Guaranteed Safety With Electrical Insulating Mats in Damp Environments? What happens to the electrical insulating mats in such environments? When it comes to electrical safety, electrical insulating mats do a great job. In damp conditions, the operators working with high voltages have a higher risk. They are non-conductive in nature. Hence, they do not let electric current pass through. On the other hand, water can make the electrical insulating mats conductive in nature. Damp condition means that the electrical insulation mats will continuously be exposed to moisture and water. Thus, ...

How Suitable are Electrical Insulating Mats for Outdoor Use?

The high temperatures of the UAE in summer and seasonal rainfall are things to worry about when you are using electrical insulating mats outdoors. Are they safe for outdoor applications?  Aren't they going to degrade due to environmental factors like heat, humidity, and others? Do they have enough resistance properties to deal with the extreme climates of the UAE? If you are looking for answers to these questions, check out this blog!  Are Electrical Insulating Mats Durable Enough for Outdoor Applications?  1. Moisture Resistance : Electrical insulating mats in outdoor applications might be exposed to humidity. Besides, in rainy seasons, they will be exposed to water. Moisture or water may call for unnecessary growth of mold. However, electrical rubber mats prevent the growth of mold and do not degrade with exposure to humidity. It is important to note that, when not in use, you should store them in a dry place for an extended life span.  2. High Temperature Resist...

When does an Electrical Insulating Mat Start Conducting Electricity?

  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...
