When does an Electrical Insulating Mat Start Conducting Electricity?

Image
  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...

5 Easy Steps For Installing Electrical Rubber Mats in Your Factory

Are you going to install electrical rubber mats? Wondering what is the right way to do that? Do you want an installation guide with easy steps?  Well, this blog will clear up all your confusion regarding this.  First, let us know what insulation rubber mats are! Insulation rubber mats are safety equipment. People operating high-voltage appliances are vulnerable to electric hazards. Several industries in the UAE rely on electrical mats to ensure electrical safety. It has high dielectric strength and can withstand electric current without breaking down. Additionally, it is non-conductive and bypasses excessive currents during any power accident.  This is how you can Install your electrical rubber mats in 5 easy steps! 1. Measure the area Measure the area where you want to install your electrical insulation mat.  Note the accurate dimensions of the space. Measure the length and width of the application area. Match the dimensions of the application area to your electrica...
