Ensuring Electrical Safety in Qatar Metro With Duratuf Electrical Insulating Rubber Mats

Image
  55.28% drop in worker accidents?  How could the Qatar Metro Railways get these results?  What does it have to do with Duratuf electrical insulating rubber mats? Duratuf insulating mat has been the a reliable protective equipment for the past 14 years. Its extraordinary insulating properties and durability have made it renowned in the market. It added value to the QIRP Project, as well. Let's take a look at the case study to know: Qatar Integrated Railway Project: The QIRP (Qatar Integrated Railway Project) aimed to expand its public transport network. This is based in the Greater Doha Area. Phase 1 included 35 stations. On the other hand, the other phase is planned to include 60 stations. This will make transportation convenient. However, with this plan, they could reduce the busy roads due to private transportation to a certain extent. They planned on connecting the Great Doha Areas, Al Wakrah-Mesaieed, and Al Khor. The primary purpose was to draw people to use public...

Electrical insulation mat for 11 kV: Game changer for Indian substations

Image
  What is an electrical insulation mat for 11 kV?   A 30 to 40% burn on a body is considered to be fatal. Electrical hazards leave burns and even cause the death of human beings. These alarming events call for adapting electrical safety precautions. The Global Electrical Protective market size was boosted by USD 782.4 million between 2023 and 2028. The electrical insulation mat for 11 kV complies with the Indian safety standard. It belongs to Class C of the IS 15652:2006 standard.With its high voltage withstanding capacity and non-conductivity, it is ideal for high-voltage applications.  How does it play a major role in the Indian Substations?  Substations have high-voltage equipment. They deal with the transmission and distribution of electricity. High-voltage transformers, motors, and other machinery are common in substations. Let us see why  An electrical insulation mat for 11 kV is a game changer for Indian Substations.  High-voltage appliances come wi...

5 differences between IS 5424:1969 and IS 15652:2006 compliant insulation matting

  Have you heard of Raj Mohan Nair? Also known as "Electro-man or Current Mohan", this man claims to endure multiple amperes of current. On the contrary, a human body cannot even sustain one-tenth of an ampere. We can have paralysis, burns, or even die due to electrocution. However, you should ensure electrical safety in the workplace to avoid such situations. Insulation matting should comply with industrial safety standards and regulations. This safety equipment protects people from electrical hazards. People install them in different industries, starting from power to manufacturing sectors. Insulation matting should comply with industrial safety standards and regulations. This safety equipment protects people from electrical hazards. People install them in different industries starting from power to manufacturing sectors.  What are IS 5424:1969 and IS 15652:2006 insulation matting? How are they different from each other? The IS 5424:1969 insulating mat is obsolete now . Pe...

What is a 33 kV insulation mat?

Image
Electrical insulation rubber mats are protective gears that ensure electrical safety in workplaces. Industries all over the world, starting from the USA to Mexico and Bangladesh, use electrical safety matting to protect the workers from high-voltage hazards. What is a 33 kV insulation mat? The IS 15652:2006 standard is set by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The IS 15652 standard has three different classes for electrical safety matting. They have three classes- Class A, Class B, and Class C. Different classes have different voltage enduring capacities for electrical applications. Class A has a 3.3 kV insulation mat and Class B has an 11 kV insulation mat. The 33kV rubber safety mat belongs to Class C of IS 15652:2006 compliant insulating mats. Working voltage  As the name suggests, a 33 kV insulated matting is suitable for applications that have working voltages less or equal to 33 kV.  This infers that this insulation matting will disintegrate when subjected to voltages highe...

Benefits of using Duratuf insulating matting: Power industry edition

Image
 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. Guarantees electrical safety while working with high-voltage appliances In Saudi Arabia, among all the b...

How to Troubleshoot Electrical Insulator Issues: Insulating Mats Edition

Image
  The first thing that might pop into your mind is that,  What is an electrical insulator? A material that allows the flow of electricity through it is known as an electrical conductor. An electrical insulator is quite the opposite to it. It does not allow the flow of electricity through it. It protects equipment and people from the dangerous consequences of electric hazards.  How is it different from an electrical floor heat mat?  An electrical floor heat mat is an underfloor heating technology. The programmed thermostat is used to control it. It is used to maintain a comfortable temperature of the flooring. An electrical floor heat mat is useful for regions having low temperatures. People living in such regions use electrical heat mats for thermal heating of the ground. An electrical insulator resists electricity. On the other hand, electrical heat mats generate electricity.  Electrical insulators may have different issues. These can be due to manufacturing d...
