 The power industry is associated with high-voltage transmission lines, power grids, and electricity distribution channels. Substations and workstations run on high voltages. Numerous electrical hazards occur in the power industry. As per data from market analysis, In the United States, 500-1000 deaths occur due to electrical injuries every year.  What is an insulating matting made of? Before talking about the benefits of using insulating matting , we should understand the composition of these electrical shock protection mats. An insulation mat is made of rubber compounds. Rubber is an excellent electrical insulator due to its molecular structure. It has tightly bound electrons that prohibit charge transfer. An insulation mat is one of the most useful safety gear that has several benefits in the power industry. Benefits of using insulating matting: Power industry edition 1.

  Are you sure that all electrical insulating  mats are shockproof? Do you ever wonder if the electrical insulating mats are invincible to fire and weathering? Why do you think that the insulation of your safety mat has deteriorated? To have a clear vision about the myths and truths encompassing electrical insulating mats, this blog is perfect for you!  Electrical insulating mats are very significant in work environments dealing with high voltage and power. It offers a non-conductive path between the ground and the equipment to protect people from electrical hazards. It acts like an anti-skid matting for the workers and also prevents electrical shock.  Aron works in a substation. The substation is floored with an  electrical insulating rubber mat . Last week, there was a current leakage in the electrical room and some workers got an electric shock. Aron called his electrical insulating rubber mat manufacturer and asked why the mat could not prevent the shock. Af...
